Ready to House Hack & Build My Core 4

Howdy!

My goal for 2024 is to build my investment portfolio and start pursuing my lifelong dream of being a RE Investor. I cannot invest locally as pricing doesn't make sense for me, but I have always been too scared to go outside of my state until now. This video has inspired confidence! 

The more granular goal is to invest in a fourplex for the long term, but ideally, something that can cashflow now so that I can still rinse and repeat sooner rather than later. I want to go to landlord-friendly states like Texas, Arizona, or Colorado. But I am not familiar with these areas at all. So I need a superstar agent who is used to this model. I would love to be very hands-off, but I am unsure what reality looks like. I am disabled and not able to get into most homes, so I am hoping to be able to trust my team to help me fully. 

So, I guess I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to househack in a different state with an FHA loan?

 2. Which state is seeing the best growth? The best cash flow?

 3. Where should I go to find an agent in that area?

 4. How hands-on should I expect it to be?

Thank you all so much!
