Websites were super slow and chat rooms were for nerds.

I’m happy to chat with you.

It's what they post as FMR, but it's not necessarily a reflection of what you are going to get, I completely agree with you.For fun, I went on rentometer.com because it usually shows good example, and for houses specifically, here's the numbers:1 – 4 Bed Summary1 bed2 bed3 bed4 bedAverage Rent$1,139 ±9%$1,735 ±5%$2,281 ±5%$2,892 ±12%Median Rent$1,000$1,750$2,000$2,67525th – 75th Percentile$901 – 1,376$1,319 – 2,150$1,681 – 2,881$1,987 – 3,79710th – 90th Percentile$687 – 1,590$945 – 2,524$1,142 – 3,420$1,173 – 4,610Standard Deviation$353$616$889$1,341Sample Size11596314Search Radius3.0 mi3.0 mi3.0 mi3.0 miIf would actually like to chat one on one with you to understand why all the FMR are so high in rentometer.com, zillow.com, huduser.gov, CHMA's website and you are telling me they are far from these numbers.

Typically, when I'm counseling with an out of state client that is living in a higher cost of living area - the client is usually better off to house hack in an expensive market rather than buying RE in a lower cost of living area unless there is a lot of excess capital to work with.If you have any questions - feel free to reach out as I am happy to chat.

I would really like to chat with you about your experience with house hacking in Albany and Lebanon since my wife and I are really considering this route if we could find something that will work for us.

Would love to chat sometime about what your interests are!

I also have the down low on a few other markets if you ever want to chat. 

If you're looking in Ohio I can send you a graded map of all the major cities and chat about the different areas. 

I'm an investor and agent in Sacramento, and available if you'd ever like to chat further.

Instead of diving straight into business, I'd chat with property owners about their goals and challenges.
