If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

The dailymail story (link above) referenced the "Kobeissi Letter" on X, which literally cut/pasted from the same RedFin data.

Not too shabby for literally 0 work or thought.

I literally have only encountered one other FB "Mastermind" group with a dumber group of people.

I literally had to have a conversation with them explaining why they can’t blast music 2am/3am in the morning.

I've called agents before to ask why a property sold so much higher than the other comps and literally been told "we just found the right buyer".   

I like DealMachine because you can literally drive or walk for dollars on the app in real time and all contacts are skiptraced with pro.But, you also want to make clear why you want to find off-market deals.

These are auctions that often literally take place on courthouse steps due to a lender foreclosing on a property due to nonpayment.
