I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

MLS-listed deals are a bit harder to find, so investors here have had to get more creative in sourcing deals either through their own hustle (door-knocking, website, direct mail, driving for dollars) or finding good wholesalers to feed them deals. 

I feel sorry for the people losing everything in the fires , insurance will go up .But I wish I was the guy  driving this bulldozer ;t=162s

Offer to help with lead generation, driving for dollars, cold calling, or even administrative tasks.

Typically will be rent by rent strategy (which is tough for none owner occupants) or College rental.   

If more than 30 days go by with no booking, you are at risk of falling off the wagon. 

I live in Charlotte and would prefer a multi-family investment property that is within a 3-4 hour drive so I'm considering areas that include: Charlotte, Raleigh / Research Triangle, Charleston, and Atlanta.

South End is great for appreciation-driven investors who want to be close to the action.NoDa (North Davidson): The artsy vibe and walkability have made NoDa a magnet for young professionals, driving appreciation in this district.Kannapolis: Known for ongoing revitalization projects, Kannapolis is positioned for appreciation.

But luckily MA/NE is so small you can invest in a different state and still be driving distance.

The Northeast and Midwest are expected to be less affected by the oversupply compared to the Sun Belt and luxury properties.
