With your eyes and ears open, get a sense for the market and and so forth.

Yes, we have ring cameras at multiple properties.

I would keep my eyes and ears open to Denver Heights (west of Walters), Highland Park, and Riverside!

Now they're ears deep in IRS notices requesting that 2553 to confirm S corp, but really....they shouldn't be an S corp at all. 

Finally, use drapery rings so they glide on the rod easier.  

Have you set a tentative timeline for your first house hack stay, or are you planning to play it by ear?

I would get a google voice number to give out to tenants because I can control when they rings and when I receive messages etc.

I'm still green around the ears but am preparing for my first rental property purchase this year.

@Ryan EarlI would do the following:-Search "we buy houses (your city)" and have a few of the investors come out and give you an offer-Get an offer from opendoor and offerpad.

(On Maple Street only about 3 blocks long I owned 12 houses...once I bought into the street I found value and became known as a cash buyer who maintained their properties so my phone rang and I shook hands on the street to keep it ringing.)Always check ARIES the Lucas County Auditor site.
