Quote from @Daniel Tanasa: Hello Terry, If you're looking to find houses that are in pre-foreclousure you can use a website like www.foreclosure.com and you can get the list of properties and start marketing to them. 

Not familiar with those markets, but here is my experience starting at 22 and what I regret after house hacking twice: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1133476-hous...

-save $1k+ in taxes and fees yearly-can use the savings to get more insurance and a higher liability than the value of house. for flipping houses in California does anyone just put into sole proprietor own name and just use the $1k+ in savings for LLC costs into Insurance or use for savingor am I just being too risky. 

Pittsburgh has to be one of the best markets for house hacking so we are definitely blessed.

Not able to buy in this area without going house poor.

It's growing rapidly and price of labor/ housing is dirt cheap.

Preferably stay for one year and find another house.

Who owns the house, your or the LLC?

House hack a 2-4 unit with the lowest down payment loan you could find. 3.5% FHA or 5% conventional.

If you are selling your house here where are you going to live?
