a lot of folks in California pick out a property they don't see in person, trust people they don't know to manage it, and then it goes south. 

Hello CA investors,I’d love to pick your brain on deciding between two investment homes for a short-term rental.

I hope they all turn out great, and the best case scenario is you struggle to pick which one to buy with next because they are all so great!

But if you were planning to house hack for a long time there then I’d think it would be a better option then renting.Things id be aware of house hacking anywhere near Boston:-Make sure you pick a town with a decent renting pool-Appreciation will be your best friend, not cash flow-Be prepared to spend on renovations always happy to share my experiences or resources if you want to connect! 

If you are just picking up "deals" hoping someone will pay a premium in a struggling market, then it will be tough for anyone to sell. no matter how many lists, emails, or phone calls you make. 

I am new to the note business and was wondering if I could pick someone's brain.  

Today, if you wait a little longer, appreciation alone has picked up almost a third of what we were aiming to force through a high-effort rehab.

My current loan is for $45k on a property they picked up for $215k. 

None of them are perfect...the most importantly, you pick one and use its functionality.We run our general contracting business here in Chicago from Hubspot.

Now my total cashflow is $3500/month and I picked up 3 houses basically for free, not costing me any money out of pocket.
