@Brandon Rush great ideas!  I plan on getting a remote job and moving to a cheaper market, CT is one on my list that I may check out. @George Cruz I'm in the same boat (kinda) I'm on Long Island.

@Jennifer Pauyo

newbie here! Long Island, NY

looking to house hack my first property either in Philadelphia or upstate NY

Quick summary: My mom's mortgage keeps going up because of taxes and shes struggling to make payments. She has two tenants but is still struggling. The house for sure needs work but is in a great neighborhood with appreciation. We are on Long Island, NY and prices are pretty high but I'm wondering if there are any options for me to make this into a positive as my first rental property or if this would be a big mistake.

Anyone willing to chat, go over numbers and specifics? 

How do you narrow down a market when you have such a broad range of options? Im on Long Island, NY and I want to start researching markets that would be around a 3-4 hours drive from here. Parts of Connecticut, upstate NY, PA are ones I’m considering that are all within those parameters (distance wise and price range wise) but I’m not sure how exactly to narrow down a state much less a town within that.

This would eventually be a house hack and I’d want to be close enough to drive back home for friends and family but I’m just not sure how to figure out how to narrow down a location to start focusing on.

Finance and finding a market. I live in Long Island, NY and finding a duplex to house hack under 200k seems impossible. Future plans is to move to Louisville, KY so I’m saving for a down payment on a house hack there. Would love to find one here first though since I’m more familiar with the market.

@Rob Bergeron can you send me that link for that zoom call as well?! Sounds interesting

ooooh!

@Kevin ODonnell Do you invest in Louisville from out of state? I'm looking to do the same 

very cool!

@Bryan Fried I am looking to house hack in those same areas in the next year or two! I am also from Long Island :)
