Quote from @Keyshawn Johnson: Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently living in Italy but will be moving to Florida soon, specifically to the Destin area.

I live 2.5-3 hours from the nearest city that I’m interested in flipping.

I’m looking to start in DFW since I live in Arlington but eventually I’ll be open to other markets to diversify my portfolio.  

I live in the Tyler, TX area, but I hold my mortgage licenses in Pennsylvania and Texas.

Here are a few innovative strategies that have been game-changers for my portfolio:- Co-Living Spaces: With affordability concerns rising, co-living setups are attracting young professionals and students.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

Although I don’t have experience in house flipping yet, I’ve successfully run a construction business back home.Due to the war, my family and I had to search for a new place to live.

Quote from @Min Zhang: Cincinnati is one of my favorite cities to live in Ohio.

I have a client that bought a condo to rent after living there and the HOA ended up outlawing rentals.

If you're going to live in it for a bit and fix it up you can adjust accordingly.
