We have become extremely creative, and have narrowed our search down to a triplex fixer upper that we would house hack.

I'm in Asheville, NC, but I don't expect recommendations so specific (althought they are welcome), I'm just looking for advice on narrowing down/choosing a partner.thanks.

You'll need to know these things before you contact an agent, so they know what to look for.I'd start by identifying your buying criteria, then an agent can help you narrow down the neighborhoods in Athens that suit your needs.

I have a long list of potential cities, but am having a difficult time narrowing that list down using any sort of consistent standards.

Account Closed, I would focus less on narrowing down the type of property and location and focus more on finding good deals.

Account Closed Michigan is quite large, are you able to narrow down what area in Michigan you were thinking about investing in?

Have you narrowed your focus to a certain type of property or area? 

I thought I'd narrowed it down to 2 possibles, but now I'm in full analysis paralysis...I've eliminated Equity Trust Company based on lots of negative feedback on BP and on my own personal observation of their unresponsiveness when I was buying a property owned within one of their SD IRAs.

They only have to care about one of the other.If you have some more information we might be able to help you narrow it down, but until we know about your personal living situation requirements we can't be of much help really.

Are you just fixing deferred maintenance and trying to narrow the $100/m market gap or have you looked at upgrading the interiors to be a B+ finishes and pushing rents a little more for a heavier value add play?
