Thanks everyone for being right here with me on this journey! 

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

Best bet is likely (not absolute - everyone's situation is different) is to look at a national lender or broker that has options in lots of states - its a great development versus 20 odd years ago, with technology, internet, places like this - can have access to many more options than before (local broker or lender thats it)

If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.

I bet it looks very amateurish.

Hello BiggerPockets, I'm going to start a thread that details my investment journey with Doorvest (https://doorvest.com) .

Your best bet are still the Townships - they have the best schools in the county with the least restrictions. 

Ive seen what you do and I bet you guys are just over thinking this.
