This is the best way to get into the game, you get live in it while you're investing.

They are too much of a gimmick and most tenants prefer to have the bottom-line expenses.

Quote from @Alyssa Dinson: Hi everyone, I live in California and have been meeting a lot of investors who prefer to invest out of state due to California being so expensive as well as the aggressive tenant protection laws we have here.

My number 1 tip would be to go off market and find owner that wants to sell at a discount / prefers speed and convenience. 

If you don't/won't have WiFi then you should either consider a SimpliSafe system that you can move around from house to house, or some type of Trail cameras like hunters use for identifying game areas.

I am playing a long game.

It could take years of sacrifice and saving to get into this game and most people don't want to wait that long.  

Hi, We're looking to invest in properties in Detroit preferably with the BRRRR strategy. 

Personally, if I can hold with a little bit of cash flow but good upside appreciation over time I’d prefer to hold.

I am new to the game and using the FHA loan has just seemed to be the most common way to house hack (at least in terms of what the resources I have read have said).
