I would like to have at least a couple properties before moving out of state that will at minimum break-even on cash flow as a LTR with property management long-distance.Other info:Looking to move out on Memphis with my wife in the next 2-4 yearsLooking to start a family in the next year or soComfortably have ~50k ready to invest sitting in HYSA, excluding Cash reservesHave an extra ~$70k in stocksMost interested in A- to C+ neighborhoodsI currently own & live in a 2/1.5 Condo locally (3.5% interest rate)Not allowed to rent it outHOA fees have risen to where PITI + HOA = $1100/mo.Have ~$100k trapped equity, good zip code I could sell quicklyOption A: Purchase another primary home locally I could live in for 2 years (lower interest rate), with intention of eventually converting it to LTR when I move out of state.

A couple of things. 

I'm new to the Real Estate Investing community/business and would like to get a couple tips on wholesaling locally here on Oahu.

I've been reading over the forums regarding house hacking and I've come to a couple conclusions:1.

If you want to buy, give a couple Sears Outlets a call, they normally have a couple sets around and since they likely sit for a decent amount of time the store might be motivated to drop the price a bit to move it.

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

@Leana Ruggles You mention MN in general in a couple of your posts above.

Joshua Tree has been pretty tough for the last couple years @Sri S.

We have purchased a few properties over the last couple years paying cash but now trying to have a more concise plan moving forward since finding BP.

Edit: I just want to say, after thinking about this for a couple minutes, maybe I need to continue to do research if people are telling me my numbers are way off.
