Hey guys,This is an update on my first post about a house hacking opportunity I'm settling on!

Study the trends, know the neighborhoods, and understand pricing. 

.🔹 Profit Multiple Ways – You can rent the property for cash flow, sell the option at a profit, or buy it later at a pre-agreed price (often below market value).🔹 Great for Sellers & Investors – Motivated sellers can turn a vacant or hard-to-sell property into income while investors secure future deals without a huge upfront commitment.🔹 Ideal in Any Market – Whether home prices are rising or falling, lease options allow you to lock in today’s price while benefiting from future appreciation.Other creative strategies—like seller financing, subject-to deals, and the BRRRR method—can also open doors, but lease options remain one of the most powerful, low-risk, minimal cash out-of-pocket ways to build a portfolio.

I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t consider this opportunity because my current company has about 50 homes throughout New England with about 1100 employees and is well funded.

If you have any leads or information, I would love to connect and discuss potential opportunities.

I want to be able to do a cash deal to get a lower price and avoid all the cost that go along with a lot loan, fees, points, etc.

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Fully renovated 4-5 bedroom ranch on 3.3 acres.

It just lacks the opportunity for commute and restaurant scene.
