Cities with high crime rates struggle to attract new businesses.

-22 years old-$50,000 pre tax income from business this year-80k in savings-30k in investments-pre approved for $350,000 (had to use parents as co-signers because I started business 2 years ago and didn’t make much first year)Looking to get into first house by house hacking a 4 bed 2 bath renting out 3 rooms.

I don't really need to know much else about someone - if they can't pass this test, why should I believe that they will be able to run a business that will generate cash?

To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.

Of course we all have to start somewhere but I tell everyone I do business with regardless if it's with me or someone else I always recommend them to build a portfolio.

Flipping is a production business.

And even if I do not get into the renting business I can make some profit if I decide to sell the property at some point.

I have sold a couple of businesses as well, and speaking from experience, you are never more vulnerable to make a mistake than when you are sitting on a giant pile of cash.Also, I agree with @Corey Conklin - I'm a big fan of "overflow cities/towns" in the sun belt.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.
