It might be a different ball of wax if you W2 $400K and Your cash-flow is $5K per money.

I've been studying national and local market and wish I had a crystal ball.

Please let me know what are your quick (but in the ball park) and most accurate (but slow) ways to find these numbers. 

I don't have a crystal ball, just an opinion like everyone else.

Keep at it and you'll eventually find something (also don't be afraid to make an offer that might considered to be a low ball offer).

Ask them for managers, agents, neighborhoods to get the ball rolling.

Once you get the first one under your belt though, the ball gets rolling pretty quickly.What areas in Cleveland are you looking for you MFR's?

(And for what it's worth, I'm very interested in the concept of house hacking for my first experience in Real Estate Investing, but not too sure on how to actually get the ball rolling.) 

You are still going to have a long of trimming/contouring of the plank to get a good fit....just not as precise if you have the quarter round going over the joint.....but then you have to spend time contouring the quarter round to get good fit at each jointEither way you will be spending time with fine tuning the fit....no way around that.

Can the bigger pockets folks please give us some idea and tips to keep the ball rolling?
