I agree with the house hacking strategy.

My strategy would be to target properties which are most likely of the owner NOT redeeming.

Hi @Ramsey Doumani,Your strategy is more than possible, self management with the team you already have in place should be a breeze.

Trying to make it where there is a lot of data, easy to use, and have a lot of articles written by local experts.

My family actually have some properties in FL, and I have also researched this area quite a bit and I saw it might fit my strategies. 

But with the right strategy and due diligence, Albuquerque might just be the next great investment hotspot.Would love to hear from other BiggerPockets members who have experience in the Albuquerque market.

It sounds like you're at a crossroads between two strategies—both of which have valid points.

Can you dig into a little more on the novation, why did the seller pick that strategy say over a cash offer?

Hello everyone my name is Omar I’m 24 ,just recently came across wholesaling  and I started doing some research on it and it seem like it’s the best option for me now to get my foot on the door and eventually start doing flips down the road. since I’m new to wholesaling and barely know anything about it what books, YouTube chancel, podcasts, even a course that might help me get on track and learn the fundamental of wholesaling.I always come across some type of strategy of real estate that I might consider to pursue but I never end up staying consistent and taking action but my goal is just to learn about wholesaling and find a way to take action now.
