Be open to multiple opinions. Listen to those that are successful but remember there are multiple paths.

Define what success means for you. Maybe its 10, 100 or 1000 properties. You are unique. Design a life that works for you.

@Michael Haas thanks! :) I've only been at it for about 1.5 years actively but definitely ready to find a great house hack opportunity. I love that you are an enthusiastic house-hacker!

Yep, definitely agree with your assessment above. I actually had made an offer on a place by Othello that was off-market but seller ended up backing out as they were looking for more money (before Covid-19 hit). I've been mostly looking at the Single Families as everything 3-4 unit doesnt really meet FHA self sufficiency.

I'm in the same boat, that I would prefer and to house hack by the "unit" with an ADU and potentially by the room if I really want to maximize profitability.

Would love to connect more, I'll send you a message and for sure feel free to send me anything you think may be worthwile to take a look. Thanks!

@Jake Alger around 500k. Looking to stay in Seattle area but willing to go South to Kent. AS long as property has good access to public transportation like light rail.

Hi!

Looking for a 2-4 unit to house hack in Seattle, WA! Ideally close to light rail for easy commute downtown. Please let me know if you know of any opportunities!

Alternatively please feel free to share if you have recently acquired a house hack property! :)

Thanks!

@Alma Bagaoisan I have not yet at this point. Was wrapping up a property in NYS and haven't been able to go deeper into Columbus but always interested and will keep a look out.

Hi all,

I currently own a duplex where both leases are nearing their end. The upper unit in particular has been living there for many years and the place is a mess. 6 cats, 2 dogs. I know once they leave I will need at least 7k to remodel and get the place rent ready again. However once I do that the unit would roughly rent for 200$ more per month.

I don't have a problem per se with the uppers as they pay rent on time and I know they likely won't leave for a long time. Knowing that the place is in bad shape though and could rent higher if remodeled and re-rented at what point would you push to go that route?

Thanks!

Thank You all for replying. I've reached out individually. I am looking for an experienced investor friendly agent and a great property management that could help me find deals in Columbus. Any contact here is appreciated!

Thank you!

@Michael Kotas I invest in Buffalo from out of state and having a great property management company is key. They are called Lodge Group and the only one I trust there. I'd be happy to connect you. Very sorry about your mom, I know what it's like unfortunately. PM me if you like more contact information.

Hi BP!

There are more and more articles about the strong population growth in Columbus Ohio and I'm curious who on here invests there or has opinions to share.

Is it a good market to invest in for small multifamily and what monthly cash flow/COC returns do investors see there?

Thanks!

Marty

@Gregory Chadwell thank you, sent you a PM.
