It helps being willing to talk to sellers/get on the phone and talk to folks in the real estate space in general but the most important thing in my opinion is being an honest and true person.

Can’t house hack, we own a large home with lots of kids.

Do they do any of this in house? 

Im currently house hacking a triplex property I bought not too long ago with one inherited tenant who was there when I bought the property. 

I recently looked at an existing STR, but either the seller did not track the expenses or they did not want to provide them. 

There are 9 x buyers for owner occupied houses than there are investor buyers. 

That means that you can buy a house on the South side -- identical to one on the North side and in its doppleganger (save race) neighborhood -- for literally a $100,000 less than you can on the North side.

View reportI'm looking to pitch this to an investor who wants to flip this house in Nashville, TN.

@James Tobin  house hacking is a GREAT way to start.

I thankful for finding this app through a book I have been reading.But I would like to inquire in regard to introducing myself both to sellers and cash buyers.
