Can you easily find cash purchases close to the property and things like that?

The entire teachings had gone from Nickersons conservative but a cash flowing small residential property, hopefully for 10 -15% below market, do immediate repairs, then slowly over time improve the property and raise rents, either refi cash out or trade tax free for a larger property.

If you're going to do a lot of D4D, then you might want to have that, too.When I do D4D, I use PropStream to locate a number of properties in a small geographic area. 

Find a deal that meets that criteria and talk to local hard money lenders. 

We meet the fourth Tuesday of each month.

Hello, I have a property i purchased for $165k with an ARV of $350k.

Pensacola is a great market for investing and the number of properties available right now is up so there are actually some on market properties with potential. 

If you're looking to scale and take full advantage of house hacking, look for a property on the larger end of the spectrum, ideally 4 units.

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

Attend your local REI meet-ups and try to find someone who is currently house-hacking or has house-hacked in the past to learn from their experience.
