New Investor from a very secluded area

[Jason G Goepper]

Hello!

I am looking into getting started in the Real Estate Investing game, more specifically House Hacking. I have done quite an extensive amount of research (Although I definitely have aways to go) and I am moving closer and closer towards finding a property. The issue is I live in a very secluded area. To put it into perspective, the closest major cities (and airports) are at least a 2 1/2-hour drive. I have a very secure W-2 job that allows for a 4-day work week in the summer, but anywhere between a 70-to-90-hour work week during the winter. Unless a golden opportunity arises, I do not plan on purchasing until the spring of 2023.  The area in which I live is rapidly growing but short-term rentals outweigh long-term 99-1. There are very few properties left and those that remain are vastly overpriced. I would love to connect with someone with more experience to talk about things more thoroughly. Thanks for the help! any questions/comments are greatly appreciated!
