If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.

It seemed like a safe bet.

I fund their deals 100% they make money I charge nothing up front I only make money when they make money we get paid the same day off of the HUDs..

I am betting for the appreciation of the house in the next years because I don't think I can cash flow in the first years.  

Your best bet is probably to get your real estate license and start actively being a real estate professional or buy a STR in your market that you can physically be at on a regular basis. 

Best bet is likely (not absolute - everyone's situation is different) is to look at a national lender or broker that has options in lots of states - its a great development versus 20 odd years ago, with technology, internet, places like this - can have access to many more options than before (local broker or lender thats it)

The property management company I use charges you for pictures.

I've vehemently argued against acquisition fees, syndicators that don't put a significant investment in their own deals, anything called a fund, large GP groups where you don't know who is in charge, and syndicators who ONLY raise money and don't manage the property, plus many other more minor sins. 

If I do not hear from you, the inspection will take place November 15, 2024, between 8-11am.The LandlordIf she refuses entry, then you send another notice charging her for the costs incurred.

It's been a while, but I had a few guests contest charges and I won every time.
