I always tell investors that if you're single/young, you should definitely house hack once a year and then rent them out and keep rinse and repeating every year.

Bottom line sub too is an advanced strategy that should only be done by Experienced investor with significant cash reserves or access to lending/like substantial LOC that already exist and can be taped at a moments notice. 

This caused a historically unique opportunity for investors - they could buy Class A properties and immediately cashflow when renting them out.This couldn't last forever, and it didn't, as excited new investors drove up prices.

I am a Real Estate Broker myself who has helped over 400 other investors.

We have investors that have come from li to Catskills.  

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

I have several investors down in the Houston area looking as well

i think the unique quirks of it made it scary for some investors.

I'm sorry, I thought this was a place to ask for advice from other experienced investors.

I started as a real estate investor in Philly, but was disappointed with the GC's a subs I was finding.
