I would put a caveat on it that the best neighborhood should be defined as what you have a tolerance to manage. 

If you have done this before, would you mind checking my math and seeing if I'm missing any large aspects? 

You cannot market or sell a property legally without a realtor licenseYou cannot provide financial advice or foreclosure rescue options without certain credentialsHow you define helping them, especially if they want to stay in their home

Location /neighborhood are the most important aspects of an investment of course but my point is choose the market where you feel you have the strongest team around you and best boots on the ground.

Can you define what in is you HOA that you consider house hacking to be a violation of? 

I love electronic payment for the hands off aspect.

Happy to connect on the financing aspect!

So I’m fairly new to the idea, but understand the approach, and negotiation aspect of seller finance.

@Jill Barrett start networking with other investors in the UP here on BP via search feature.Ask/pay an agent to generate a list of all the houses in an area you define have sold for cash in the last 12 months - pretty good sign an investor bought it.

Professionally, I have study and working experience in the German Taxation Laws and know that Taxation is a crucial and vital aspect in any business in any country.I already have property here in Germany and currently planning to expand to Dubai and Miami USA.
