As for Raleigh, if you’ve already seen the success of Airbnb-ing rooms there, it’s worth exploring further, as it’s a growing market with plenty of demand.For alternative strategies in Greensboro, look into renting by the room, especially for professionals or students.

So, with a house hack you need to understand the rental market and your approach to landlording.

Quote from @Blake Steagall: Hello @Jaycee Greene, I do not own any real estate in that market yet but am interested.  

Over the years the only place I have lost money is the stock market.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

That being said, and this is not for a sourcing homes for sale, but to source accredited investors in my line of work, the average marketing agency is looking at about $30-50/accredited investor lead setting up a call. 

There's a reason that people try to buy properties off-market and that is because you can find sellers who care more about terms than maximizing returns.So start with a conversation: you already presumably have some rapport since it's your landlord and you've spoken before.

Have you had an appraisal done recently, or do you have comps to estimate the property's market value?

The partners between a realtor like myself (proficient in renovation experience), a general contractor, usually a loan consultant to support the buyer and the lender, (along with a buyer and seller of course) are the parties involved.I come across so many homes perfect for 203k or HomeStyle buyers, on and off-market, it isn't funny.

It requires no money upfront, so you will join thousands of others trying to do the same in your market.
