My plan is to start house hacking.

The houses would be looking at I'd imagine would be about 7 to 800 k taxes would be about 4K hire a year.

You mentioned student housing - What schools are they near? 

By this time, I realized Chris was wholesaling the house to me (unlike the other houses on the tour) and charging me to manage the project.

So the the value of the house is $260/SF but the seller is trying to sell it at S$296/SF because of the furniture.

-Bill Mcbride newsletter if you want narrow and deep insights about weekly trends in housing -JBRE is a good one for deep dive on housing stats.

I don't think the future will be kind to the investors who bought cheap houses in a big community of other investors. 

The 2 best ones I know of are:- House Hacker Mafia (https://www.meetup.com/house-hacker-mafia-real-estate-invest...)- Colorado Springs REIA (https://www.meetup.com/colorado-springs-real-estate-investor...)Hope to see you at one of them!

If you are newer I'd suggest a house hack unless you can rinse/repeat this process again. 

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..
