You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

I recommend you search for "tenant application screening" to find a few different options and see which one will work best for you.Here's some generic screening advice.

Hi @Cynthia Gonzalez I am an agent in Charlotte and would be happy to connect and see if there is anything I can do to help with your search. 

There will be different areas that are better or worse depending on whether you're in search of cash flow or appreciation. 

In the area I lived the properties were too expensive (Watsonville CA) so I began doing farther searches out of my area.

Look for areas with strong demand for affordable housing and check infrastructure availability like water, sewer, and roads.Building relationships with local real estate brokers and connecting with municipal contacts can help uncover off-market deals and streamline your search.

@Bryson Ragsdale search "house hacking biggerpockets" in spotify or the Podcast app and that should bring up the ones that talk about house hacking!

Yeah, they have algorithms and search tools that scan your messages.

So if you still want removable covers, search for "sofas that come with slipcovers". 

Best of luck in your search!
