Here is my experience house hacking at 22, and what I ultimately regret: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1133476-hous...

Its favorable location in Detroit and demand for local housing presented a straightforward profit path, allowing us to quickly flip and earn, making it a strong choice for Partner Driven and Rod King.

That's more of a personal choice though.I would also keep in mind your long-term goals for REI.

Money is ultimately going to be the driver, foremost the cost of insurance.

If that's your market, your only choice is to get aggressive or sit vacant.Consider lowering the price but increasing your standards.

That would be my choice if I exited out of Indiana.I'm not a huge fan of paying cash for properties since you're tying up a large amount on one property.

For example, a few years back, I was working with an investor who wanted to break into the Phoenix market - a solid choice, by the way, because of the rental yields—and we ended up uncovering an off-market duplex that wasn't even on her radar.

Tampa’s a prime spot right now, and starting with fix-and-flips is a solid choice for building capital.

Hey Dina, The extensive repairs discovered during inspection could ultimately provide a tax benefit by increasing the depreciable basis of the property.
