My initial idea was to find a house in the &150k-$200k range and flip it for $300k-&350k.

One thing I’ve always done is focus on the 75th percentile of the rent estimates, as my properties tend to fall into that range (very nice, but small with no amenities).While I think there will always be some manual research involved, the current platforms lack key functionality that could be easily implemented with the available market data and technology.1.Quality Metrics:•Filter comps to match the quality of your rentals.

Costs vary but can range from $1,000 – $3,000 per unit.Water/Sewer: This is more complex and may require approval from your local water authority.

As an agent who has successfully helped over 25 house hack buyers in the last in 4 years, and have sold over 500 properties in my career, what you are looking for, in the price range listed simply doesn't exist. 

Hopefully rents start going up 2nd Qtr and into 2026 and 2027.What price range do you want to be in? 

There are some pockets in this lower price range but they are hard to find and sellers won't let them go for the price you want often.
