If you are interested add me as a friend on here and we can connect.

Rather than looking at "good" areas, I'd ask you what cities/metro areas you like to visit or where you already have family or friends that live there.

The high taxes are problematic but Texas is far more landlord and business-friendly than CA, NY and most other states.

Being out of state, I will also be seeking an investor friendly agent and also a great property manager. 

Additionally, the landlord laws here are more investor-friendly.

This site says it's for travel nurses, but their users come from all walks of life and it's growing daily. go to https://furnishedfinder.stats and enter the city information.

Anyone here have, or are considering, house hacking with friends or family?

If you're looking to add 100 potential clients to your database, chances are you already have this many (or way more) in your phone contacts, email contacts, and social media friends/followers.If your conversion rate as a new agent is .5%, you'll need 200 leads in order to close 1 deal.You should spend at least 30 mins a day as a P-T agent to generate leads.

@Taylor G.To find investor-friendly agents for house hacking, use BiggerPockets Forums, local meetups, REIA groups, and social media.

If you were a larger user of a particular plumbing service, such as 120 apartment units with older plumbing and frequent issues, or a McDonald's you might expect a little better service.Good Luck!
