Check out this post. It's exactly what you are looking for. Also use the realtor, zillow, and Redfin apps to set up alerts for the type of properties you are interested. Network on here, there are tons of agents. Look up Sharon Tzib, she is a great agent that I've come across on here. She may be a good fit for you. 

What is your niche?

@Greg Szymbor That helps a lot, thank you! This is why I love BP so much! So, now that you have successfully obtained investment properties and built great equity will you use that equity or use another FHA loan?

@Greg Szymbor Congratulations! I hope to do something similar soon. You really dove in purchasing a fourplex. I'm a bit intimidated at the thought of bad tenants, but I think proper screening will put me at ease eventually. I have a few questions, to you and anyone who'd like to comment. What's a good interest rate range to be in for loans? Where you able to get the loan based off of projected cash flow estimates? What was the negotiating factor that lowered the purchase price, something the inspector found or the obviously at one place needing repairs? Thanks for sharing your story!

@Theresa Colbert Sharon Tzib is a great agent. You should research her and see if you two would be a good fit. Good luck to you!

Very great topic and feedback! I will be purchasing a MF soon with the help of an agent and lender I came across on this great site. I haven't heard anyone reference the sub meters. Will you cover utilities? 

Welcome @Niki Jacobs!!

Welcome to BP, I currently am looking to house hack. I feel like a duplex-fourplex is the way to go. It's great you have partner in your fiancé. Good luck, if I come across anything for Pearland I will reach out to you.👍

Good Morning 

I'd love to know more.

Good Afternoon

Podcast 111 offers some good information on this niche. 

Eveyone has made good points thus far. If you purchase this property, how do you plan on marketing this rental? Aligning the time frame with some up coming events and maybe even an offer for a stay every once in a while is just one of many tactics. Of course that's down the road after you've actually gotten the place, but it's definitely good to start forming a strategy for that as well. This is a new strategy for me, but the potential is very enticing. I'd love to hear more of what everyone has to say who has experience in this niche. How would you approach this and what makes a great vacation property?
