Either way let me know if you want a direct POC to field ops, my contacts aren't in the claims/damages depts, but they can probably get you directly to the right person vs going through customer service.

@Ricky Rodriguez  This is an in-depth response, but I have in-depth experience on this, so here goes...I’ve house hacked numerous properties (and also done BRRRR’s, STRs, ADUs, and pretty much every other residential REI strategy), and I can say from experience that house hacking is the BEST strategy for new investors getting started (check out my other forum posts about what makes house hacking such a good strategy).As I’ve said many times before, house hacking is generally easier than the more advanced REI strategies (like BRRRR’ing, STRs, flips, etc.), but that doesn’t mean house hacking is necessarily easy.

@Dave RavHow do you know what the correct specs are or what you need without being in the field of expertise?

Despite numerous attempts to reach the listing agent, we faced silence.

Numerous investors (even very famous ones) were quoted as saying real estate values always go up.

My biggest question for anyone for any field that I am getting into, how much PERSONAL experience do you have?

Well here in the part of Georgia I live in, we have that famous red clay but unlike some clay, it will perk adequately in drain fields.

In addition, they have had their real estate agent manipulate the MLS listing numerous time since being under contract, which we have record of.

My wife works with a lot of investors as an agent (Florida), but she's personally built or flipped scores of homes, she has a construction background with an actual degree in the field, and she's spent years honing her craft.

Noteworthy employers include the University of Kentucky, state government agencies, Toyota (Georgetown), the public school system, Amazon, agricultural enterprises, distilleries, and numerous healthcare facilities.
