3-6 months after my first house hack I plan to look at other properties to invest into, preferably out of state or near colleges in OH.I’ve always been intrigued with real estate and how someone can gain so much financial freedom and time with owning properties.

@Marco Santarelli I may be able to miss a part of the Conference that weekend and come up.Sunday works best for us, so long as it is after 2pm.Saturday could also work if it was in the morning or evening, but not the afternoon.As for location... preferably something in the South end but I do not know Calgary well enough to name anything besides Tim Horton's.

I should be specific about which location I prefer. 

On my existing units most prefer to pay cash.

I prefer buy and hold in the Bay Area for many reasons, but I am not against flipping or out of state investing.

Most paramount was - I can’t trust trust @Kris Thomas let me ask you this for clarification.. is the preferred method to tie up property and then flip the contract or double close thereby not  using any of your own money or very little and making the Delta..

I want to pay them a preferred rate of return on their money without giving up equity in the deal. 

Hi Gabrielle,Are you listing your homes with one of the preferred agents here through BP?

But would still prefer driving distance, so CA and South of Pismo beach ideally. 

Also, in a mainstream asset class like value-added multifamily, I see no reason to take a risk on a sponsor that doesn't have full real estate cycle experience or that lost anything more than a small amount of money (and prefer no money lost).
