300k to buy a house

Hi all, a family member has offered 300k to help me buy a home. It's not money I can just have and is specifically for buying a home. The thing is I work abroad and move countries often for work and won't be settling down anytime soon, but I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity. I was thinking about buying (paying cashing) and renting out a small apartment in midtown Atlanta for 250-280k, saving some for unexpected costs, and investing the rest. Midtown is close to a couple universities with a steady flow of wealthy college students looking for housing and I figured it'd be easier to own a place in a building that is managed rather than a stand alone house. My brother lives nearby and agreed to act as landlord for me. I've been doing research and Atlanta is consistently touted as a smart place to invest but I'm out of my depth here. Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
