Hi @Leonard La Rocca III welcome to BPWith a goal to house hack your option will be much better and tremendously more favorable.1. $50k gets you the house but leaves you very little room for value add. 

Did you buy at a discount or somehow force equity?

Do the Airbnb discounting, price a little under market, make sure your cleaning fees are at or below average, looser cancellation policies will all help.

MOST transaction aren’t BELOW market, although I’d venture that 85% of those buyers BELIEVE they’re purchasing real property at a discount.  

I’ve learned a lot from BiggerPockets and am eager to apply that knowledge to build relationships with investors looking for great deals.Right now, I’m focused on finding cash buyers who are interested in discounted properties.

@Mike Beer I have been in Raisemasters for only a few weeks and I can tell you I have already received tremendous value.  

The lender did everything wrong in this situation and now are paying for it.Now they are trying to sell the loan at a slight discount (oh did I say its a 0% interest loan and they jacked up the UPB of the loan instead of adding interest) - again another rookie mistake. 

I personally wouldnt work with a discount broker on the list side as there is a decent amount of money that goes into presenting a good listing.

These are also great markets especially with the discounts we are seeing. 

Your value is, to provide sellers that don't want to list, with a way to get cash for their house and provide buyers with discounted off-market properties they can buy to make a profit on.I am not saying it is not possible to wholesale from the MLS, but it seriously defeats the purpose.Focus on becoming the person/company that offers the most and best value and you will succeed.
