Wish they would build houses with this style of architecture still.

I was broke enough that I couldn't afford rent at my apartment, but fortunately my landlord didn't notice, thanks in part or in whole due to some substance abuse issues.Anyways, when visiting my mom in the neighborhood where I grew up, I had noticed this construction van at a house on our street.

Hi Meghan,   My wife and I live in Coon Rapids, but have 2 rental houses in Duluth that we rent to college students.

I just closed today on the sale of the second house and have ended the nightmare!

As you begin you REI journey here is a piece of advicecheck out this website for a great over view of a city https://www.areavibes.com/This website gives you a total livability score and you can see things like crime rate, housing, walking score and more.Best of luck!

They live in a semi HCOL area called Torrance (house is in a good zip code 90503).

@Shane Regnier I've flipped a bunch of houses in Ocala but have yet to dabble in the rental market. 

Applying that to RE investing, most would agree your first FHA loan should be a multi-unit house hack.

I a new investor  who self-manages my property and need some advice.Currently, when there are plumbing issues, I have a plumbing company come to the house and I have to meet them there.

That being said, if you're 23 and you don't own a home, I really do recommend starting with a house hack as you don't need the 25% down capital to get started and you kill 2 birds with one stone by getting a rental and having a roof over your head.
