Also an investor myself, id love to talk to you more about the DFW market and what strategies have worked for me over the years!

I think the BRRR strategy is a good way to get started. 

These areas may offer more affordable multifamily properties that fit your house hacking goals.Rochester and other distant markets could work for a BRRRR strategy, but it’s a big commitment given the distance.

This affects which strategy you could pursue.

I began inviting them to online zoom meetings I would hold with brokers, agents and investors... friends I had made along the way, where we would just talk strategy, loan types, current market trends etc.

I found one who's strategies made sense, 10 years later my wife and I have been financial free for about 5 years now by leveraging the concept of house hacking. 

Solidify my "why" and long term strategy so I persist in times of uncertainty and challenge.

Are you planning to hold as-is and focus on cash flow, or do you have a strategy for infill, increasing rents, or improving park infrastructure to boost value?

The only thing I wanted to recommend was trying to find a strategy you like and getting really good at that strategy.

Another lesson I’ve learned is that buying a single family home as my primary residence to later lease to a tenant is a bad strategy unless I’m purchasing the property at a really low price.
