Thanks for the advice, Gallagher. Your deal is encouraging. Would you be willing to share your method of finding a home off market?

Hi, all.

I have been trying to buy into this crazy market for the last 3 months with mostly disheartening failures. I first tried to find multi-family properties in the metro area with house hacking potential, but the cash flow is always negative. My next strategy was look for cheap condos that I could live in for the next few years and potentially rent for a profit once I moved, but the bidding wars are taking the sales prices to levels where renting wouldn't be profitable anytime soon. Are there any other owner-occupied opportunities that are available in this market, or should I give up on the idea, continue renting, and invest elsewhere until the market settles down?

I have not, but they recently posted on my local craigslist about development opportunities in Baltimore. I also came here to find out if they were legit since there are some red flags that jumped out to me. For one, their website is pretty, but not well maintained. Additionally, I searched for info on their address and it looks like they may have re-branded. The company address that comes up is "Alive Development Group" which has a complaint registered with the Better Business Bureau.
