I'm a licensed contractor and home inspector with a moderate portfolio in Ft Wayne.

It's a nice town with moderately sized single family homes.

The deals that work in this environment will be exceptional in a lower rate scenario so more than likely you'd be hitting a homerun if it works well now.Not to say you could still hit a few singles that work moderately well now and slightly better later.

I have done two moderately successful local BRRRRs and it would have been impossible to do them the way I did it out-of-state.I also house-hack my own residence and I can't recommend it enough for a beginner if everyone you live with is on board.

Aside from your typical items like budget and area, I am looking for something in a good school district, and a moderate size in terms of bed/bath room count, as well as area.

Likely you should be prepared to absorb a moderate jump in your policy costs, as that seems to be the norm in the current market that I'm hearing from other clients as well as a broker/investor/prop. manager myself. 

When you’ve reached a moderate net worth, say $500k - $1,000,000 keep 10-20% of your assets liquid STAYING POWER6.

When used correctly and in moderation, it can be an effective tool at times. 

I suggest you get in touch with BP moderators/administrators to remove your post from the site because it wasn’t your intention to use the word “scam” regarding your transaction with @James Wise.

I do enjoy some craft beers in moderation.
