I suspect there's lots of inventory, particularly for new folks coming into the area that find the real estate prices are much better than where they came from.Do you have a type of house you like to target?

Quote from @Robert Ruschak: Would you skip the 700+ single family houses and scale up faster into multi-family?

We own a property in the mountains on 2 1/2 acres that has 3 houses with 9 bedrooms and can sleep 24 people.Our second house is on the beach off of Playa Avellanas.

A great way to get started if you currently have a W2 job is to buy a house hack like a duplex or a fourplex where you can move into one of the units and continue to rent/manage the other units.

I have a house that’s a long term rental upstairs and a medium term downstairs.

Your plan to house hack a multifamily property in Indianapolis is a great strategy to start building equity and learning the ropes with manageable risk.

They ended up billing me $200 a month for several months before I realized what they had done.My wife's a Realtor and we flipped a couple houses that she found for us.

At 19, house hacking is the best option if you have the downpayment and closing costs set aside.

@Pat Aboukhaled I would ULS (unit lot segment) the primary house and include a clause in the call option that would prevent them acquiring the DADU.

There is a guy near me with 6 small houses he rents , he has a waiting list .
