These rules are not to be used in order to measure a successful deal, but rather finding a suitable deal in the first place.

I almost wonder if this question is a plant of some sort just to gauge the types of responses it would generate, so I'll take the bait in the even that this is a bot or troll (full disclosure, my career is not in any way related to the success or failure of the RE market).

I want to begin investing with a house hack, but more generally use this position (with it specifically being in the RE industry) as a jumping-off point for a career in investing, eventually full-time.

Every state has a unique set of laws and regulations regarding the foreclosure process, so your ability to succeed will depend largely on where you're operating.Also, all three of these require advanced skills and background, so I wouldn't necessarily start here.That said, if you do then be sure to get top-notch training and complete deal documentation from folks who have seen at least one full real estate cycle.Rather than specializing so soon in your real estate career, I would instead recommend just getting in front of as many real estate owners with problems.Just getting really good at talking (and listening!)
