If not, I can put you in touch with an investor friendly agent in the area who can help. 

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.

The area is fairly landlord friendly.  

Landlord-friendly state, low barrier of entry in terms of price, and solid cash flow. 

The way we have done it is to borrow from my 401K, when I pay mine back borrow from hers and repeat this cycle so we always have one we can pull from. 3) This option will be controversial but I have taken out private money loans with family and friends. 

Im not a realtor, but i do know of many investor friendly agents here.

I've read BiggerPockets' Real Estate Investing book and am particularly interested in the house hacking strategy, as I'd like to move out of my current living situation.Our main dilemma is choosing between a single-family home (renting out one room to a close friend) or a multifamily property like a duplex or triplex.

Fortunately for me all my friends have already called dibs!

My realtor/contractor/friend agreed to show them to me.

I'm currently building my team with Tax Advisor/CPA, RE Attorney, REI friendly agent and designer first on the list in that order.
