If you’re just starting or want to minimize risk, house hacking is a killer move—grab a duplex, live in one unit, rent the other, and let it pay down your mortgage while you scale up.

Whether it’s sprucing up a property with a few renovations or doing a full-scale flip, a good contractor can make all the difference.

Large Metros get this.You should be looking in growth markets which have higher cap rates - but the future projection is they will decrease.Mid-west for instance. 

Whether it's a small, family-owned PM company or a mid-scale operator with multiple properties -- I am interested in the trends!

Start with 1 flip, exit successfully, then slowly scale.

Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

I know of a few in the PCB Florida area Pretty basic, and I am small scale. 

Tenants in many markets already believe they pay too much (contrary to recent studies that show rent to property values have never been lower for the large US cities).If my insurance costs are not double my current rates over the next couple years, I will be pleasantly surprised.  

Larger properties offer economies of scale and better financing terms, but they also come with more complexities and higher upfront costs.

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.
