I know that this topic has been beat to death already and that the general consensus is to house hack before buying, however, my situation is a little unique and I would appreciate some input from the community.I have a new job with as an airline pilot and my schedule is 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off and I can live anywhere in the US. 

I'll be sure to reach out to other investors in the area and hear their input.  

Thank you for your input
