To answer your question condos are better if they allow it but if you want to hop right in it with less risk I would go for a house or multi family deal.

Once you are on site you can decide if your $20K should be used as a downpayment on a double to house hack (to stop renting), a single to just stop renting, or a single to lease out.

Quote from @Kash Tacke: Hi,I have two single family houses in Detroit currently rented out. 

I am looking at New Haven as well for BRRRR/house hacking.

@Erin Colbert You would need to be living somewhere, and you would need to sign the deed restriction.You can live on the couch and rent out all the rooms in all the ADUs and JADUs you wanted - as long as you sign the Deed Restriction for owner occupancy, as well as that would go along with the sale, so you could not sell to investor just renting out the house

I then connect them with a trusted realtor since we do not have in-house.

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.

I understand that of course that would bring higher paying jobs but how does that drive the housing prices up.

Ask if their handyman is in-house--which I've seen turn into a "charge up to the owner authorization threshold for every single visit". 

If there is any kind of damage to the house because of a natural cause if you approach the insurance company without a landlord's insurance they will outright deny your claim.If you have a mortgage the bank will insist that you have landlord insuranceTenant has renter's insurance.
