Here in Columbus, we're still seeing deals here that hit the 1% rule with positive cash flow and lots of potential for appreciation.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

The positive posts in this thread are from users with no other posts on here, who just joined today.

I am wondering if there is any market in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, or Washington DC that would "make sense" to house hack given my financial position? 

Let's say you accidentally use bleach on your nice white sheets and all the body oils get bonded to the fabric and are yellowing.

Now, I am also realizing the power of leveraging equity from other assets—like my house hack—and even explored partnerships to spread risk and build a stronger position.

@James Mc Ree the example I mentioned above was for a 1st position note. 

I am from the Midwest where cap rates are high and you can have positive cash flow with 10-15 year loans.

Expanding my network is a priority, not only to find new opportunities but also to eventually be in a position to provide those opportunities to others.I know that scaling a business requires collaboration with others who can bring expertise in areas like financing strategies, legal structuring, and scaling operations.

That said, I do think you're in a great position to make it happen if you're strategic.
