I’d be more than happy to hop on a call with you to discuss the different areas and explore how you might make it work.

I got into RE investing utilizing the same strategy as you're exploring.

Once you’ve built some confidence and systems, you can start exploring additional markets.I personally focus on 2 markets that are about 20 mile radius.Make sure the market(s) you choose align with your investing goals, whether that’s cash flow, appreciation, or both.

Your financial position is strong, and leveraging financing for your next rental while maintaining a conservative debt-to-income ratio is a smart approach—consider consulting a lender to explore options that align with your goals and keep your investments sustainable.

Lenders often consider the whole picture, so keep building that credit but don't let it hold you back from exploring options.Since you're considering a trailer to fix up, have you thought about markets like East Phoenix or the outskirts of Austin?

There are signs to look for if you know what to look for and certain areas of town are far worse than others.Where is the house? 

Hi all, I am considering the following strategy for a house hack in Old Town Alexandria.

I am still up there pretty frequently though so if there are every any REI meetups that you know about or a way to find those I would love to explore that possibility!

However, If you live in a small town or a rural area, you may need to choose somewhere else to start.

Since I am new to the town, I wanted to seek advice from experienced investors out there.
