@Tim Delaney is an investor in the Buffalo market and shares many of your views on its long term potential!

Starting your real estate journey with a house hack in Austin is a smart move, especially with its strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

If you need some connections, I run the most active group of small landlords in the city and have a network of connections that you could potentially leverage.

It also features a minisplit HVAC system and PVC exterior covering.We plan to market it as a vacation rental, given its potential appeal to eco-conscious travelers and those looking for a distinctive getaway experience.I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience with selling or financing geodesic domes.

I recently read in Forbes that investing near growing transit hubs can offer great appreciation potential.

If I put myself in the shoes of the outside partner/investor friend, I would be very concerned because: 1) unclear and/or potentially conflicting business plan, 2) even with clarity in the BRRRR business plan, unclear in the viability of pulling it off with these market conditions, 3) the chances of dispute seems very high, especially if you're going to live in. 4 years ago, I went through a  similar thought process when purchasing an investing property with mainly my family money, while considering an outside investor to rehab for higher STR ROI... 

I do believe if the potential investors asks for an opinion, if you provide your opinion it should be an honest opinion and not necessarily what will achieve the commission.

Looking at refurbished houses in the area, potential value of the house could be $130-140k range.

Quote from @Richard Bautista: Good evening,Just saw Cleveland, Ohio has relatively inexpensive houses which has the potential to cashflow.

They must scare at least 40% of your potential customers away.
