For a first time investor, I definitely recommend house hacking for most people as homeowner loans are by far the best in terms of rate and LTV. 

One is in Toledo, the Cleveland ones are in Homeworth Ave 44125, Huntmere Ave 44110, W 68th St 44102, Bryce Ave 44128, and Walton Ave 44113. 

I am having a hard time even finding a decent window vendor XDDD

@Hiyun Park only experienced investors can DIY everything in Class C Midwest areas like Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, etc.Hopefully the info below will help you:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Rates are a bit higher but if you can leverage up to do more than 1 flip at a time, it will be worth paying the lender fees.

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat with properties in Lafourche, Terrebonne, & St.

You can get houses at huge discounts and it is a great time to buy for appreciation.

I wanted to start tracking my daily hours in the business and wanted to understand HOW I need to do this so it gets approved come tax time.
