Hosting a server for your friends.
Hosting a server is very easy.
All you have to do is go into the practice gamemode and open your console with the ` key, and type
sv_lan 0
Then have your friend join through your IPv4 adress and you're good to go!

That easy, no paying for hosting or anything!
Be sure to set mp_autoteambalance to 0 so you can play on the same teams.

I did this, but with a twist. The person I wanted to play with was already on my LAN, so I just opened the console and typed in her IP address. I didn't have to disable sv_lan in the console. I do have to wonder about potential security ramifications for trying this method over the internet. I know little about networking, so I can't say if this method is safe or not. Still great suggestion, and thanks a lot. It's so much better than fiddling around with a dedicated server. I REALLY appreciate it.

I am practically new to this game, could you clarify how I do so that my friend enters through my IP?

Every guide I've seen on the topic said 'just buy a server host'
i'm not about that life though.
