Sales agent gets slightly more aggressive than I like, but other than that, they seem more trustworthy than other opportunities like this that I come across.    

I think a lot of folks are sitting on or building up cash reserves as rates have squeezed a lot of the potential cash flow opportunities of years past. 

I’m also a proponent of always having at least two “shelf” LLCs ready to go for deals so that you don’t run into delays or roadblocks when opportunities arise unexpectedly.

I’ve seen a lot of investors succeed by focusing on a market with strong rental demand, good price-to-rent ratios, and opportunities for appreciation—Detroit checks all those boxes.If you’re curious, feel free to reach out, happy to point you to some resources.

My wife and I thought we had an easy opportunity for a double (baseball analogy) with a flip home in Lakeland, TN we were able to get well below market this past summer.

The OP said she intends to rent her new place, so until she files for a new homestead exemption, it is unlikely that the existing homestead will be revoked.

My advice would be to underwrite as many house hack opportunities as possible and assume 100% vacancy + a large capex item so you stress test your worst possible scenario and can you get through this.

There will be many situations where you can help a homeowner save their home -  however, in other situations they just want to sell quickly which provides a wholesale, fix/flip, buy/hold opportunity for you. 

You have a golden opportunity to make a lot more money.

I believe there could be opportunities for us to collaborate, given your expertise and my drive to grow in this space.Looking forward to your thoughts!
