Looking to buy my first house hack in Grand Rapids Michigan in a few months.

My husband and I have rapidly been working to pay off our personal debt but still have a ways to go, also why we do not have a lot of cash for down payments, as all extra is going on debt.

Targeting markets that have not been exposed to the rapid appreciation and Ibuyer craze while still having employment opportunities for the work force!

It's a healthy and diverse economy with projected growth, but its also a city surrounded by open build-able land, which means it doesn't have the same kind of condensed urban core, where scarcity of land drives rapid appreciation like in other major cities. 

That will take way too long to replicate this (BRRRR) strategy at a rapid rate.

That being said, what are you doing to adjust your business model to combat the changing and rapidly growing market? 

There's an article I posted below on the move-in rate and this has helped the area and home prices have appreciated at a rapid rate.

With all of the rapid changes and technological advances, everything is just an app or fingertips away and it would be interesting to start to hear what works for certain guests to maybe spot a possible trend developing as the episodes go on if the question could become a permanent fixture.

@Carl Mayer At this point in the market cycle I'd personally feel more comfortable investing in a market that doesn't appreciate rapidly.

Be advised that prices have risen rapidly over the last few years and competition is fierce, so don't get discouraged when you lose your first few bids at or above ask price.
