Quote from @Rene Hosman: @Austin Wolff recently went through this process of identifying markets to purchase in and he goes over his thought process in this episode on the Rookie podcast about how he used the MarketFinder here on BiggerPockets to find markets that met his criteria Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-473MarketFinder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/marketsI specifically only focused on 2 markets (Indianapolis and Fayetteville, AR) before I found a deal using the BP "deal finder."

Important resources(articles, books, podcasts) to review?

Here's an old article I posted a few years back - Key is good communication. 

Here is an article with more information on what a house hack is - www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/house-hackingHope this help!

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

Goodin Development has no filings with the SEC authorizing it to raise money, has not pulled any permits and is not mentioned in any of the numerous news articles discussing the development and the companies involved.If you are thinking of sending Justin Goodin or Goodin Development any money - THINK TWICE!!

I suggest listening to the BP podcasts and reading through the blogs and books they offer.

Could someone please interpret this article into transparent language.

Read a book, or even a blog like this one:  Application Screening GuideIf the landlord had called the previous landlord (me) they would have immediately denied her."
