OKC Investor looking for advice on areas to buy!

[Joe Miller]

Hope that everyone had a great holiday season. Since first posting several months back I have been reading, listening to podcosts/audiobooks, and trying to research the area. I have become really interested in the idea of purchasing a duplex or multi-unit property and "house hacking" it. Ideally a property that requires some work so I can add some value to it as well. I haven't yet reached out to a real estate agent because I am still trying to determine what exactly I am looking for.

Mainly, I don't know OKC that well. I worked there briefly before being moved for work and now I am just returning. There are very few multi-family properties listed online it seems and most are in areas that I am not familiar with. Specifically, it seems theses type of properties are more common in the southern portion of OKC. I am not familiar with this part of town and see that home values vary a lot from block to block... 

These are neighborhoods that seem to me would be good for what I am trying to do if there is a property available in them. (Gatewood, Mesta Park, Hertigage hills east, Lincoln terrace, paseo, crown heights) Any feedback on these areas?

Also any recommendations as far as a good real estate agent who can help me hunt would be appreciated!

Thanks so much
