I’m currently house hacking and planning to buy my next property in about 6 months.

I tried to look up properties that I could buy using my $6,000 bonus as a down payment but I was living in Los Angeles and couldn’t even buy a shack.

One of my goals is to develop a solid buy box to streamline our underwriting process and make it more systematic.

Are you buying amazing deals or are they closer to market value?  

I am looking to buy a 2 or 3-unit home in NYC.

Once you have done it in your own backyard and know the demand of owning RE, you will be much more ready to buy out of state.

i would not buy a random property in Alabama that you find on Zillow and turn it over to people you've never met just because the price point is appealing.here are some threads on how that can go:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...i own property in 3 states - happy to answer any questions you have.

You have to make a deal rather than buy a deal, be more appreciation focused, and be more patient.
