I bought a single family because I thought I could house hack in the same way as a duplex and in ways it certainly could have and did work but I didn't expect the relational aspects of having people living in a property I purchased.

I own a 4plex where I live in one and rent the other 3. 

I lived there for a couple years and I met this guy who has bought and managed a ton of property there. 

I tend to stay in my lending and financing lane lol Hi ClaytonMany thanks for the kind offer, Since this is a rental property, my living home insurance(which is way less even though my living home is value about twice the rental property) does not cover landlord insurance. 

At minimum, stage the living room and primary bedroom to give it some warmth.That said, have you thought about cutting bait and putting your money into a market where the numbers actually work?

I live in the Champaign area.

The auctions, although online now, are live foreclosure auctions, i.e. the auction style sale which is the culmination of the foreclosure process. 

I live in Portland  Maine , I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.. thank you.

Are you looking to find a home to buy for yourself to live in?
