@Angie Castro Totally recommend house hacking in some form or fashion.

I am under contract with a duplex and I’m currently shopping my mortgage options.

I have never been on a shopping spree like yours in my time on that journey.

You also don't want to "shop for value," by cherry picking higher priced sales to justify a higher value.

Be on point, be organized, give the facts, lay it out in simple straight forward fashion, and let the other side hang themself with rants and arguments. 95% of time I have said less than maybe 10 words entire case.

Try getting a couple of different quotes or even a broker who can shop all the best lenders possible for you!

Then they either cut it up themselves into steak and hamburger or they take it to a butcher shop an have it done.

@William Camacho- A Salty Dog Property Management (but I'm biased lol) is the best vacation rental management shop in Volusia and Flagler IMO. 

This week my community is having a meeting at a local coffee shop to get to know the neighbors.

Have your sticky notes printed at a print shop a few thousand at a time if you're serious about buying houses.Choose neighborhoods with homes likely to sell, such as older areas or places with recent foreclosures.
