.- Automation helped us focus on the most valuable leads.- The system saved us both time and money, allowing us to close more deals.Anyone else tried this?

Buy box: Location: Approx. 30 min drive to Boston Heights, for workNeighborhoods: Decent walkability score - not far from shops/restaurants/trendy neighborhoodsIdeal tenants: Close to hospitals/universities/schools for professionals/students/familiesBudget: $175-250K - Buying w/conventional loan, 5% down/ approx 20K reno.Property type: MFH 2-4 units - preferably side-by-side, with a yard we can fence for our dogUnits: 3+/1+ - better if 1.5/2 bath per unitTimeline: Plan to live there for 2 years, but possibly only 1 year if we find another investment opportunityGoal: Focus on appreciation - would like to see cash flow in year 2-3 (the year we move out), including overhead (Vacancies, Maintenance, Utilities) and budgeting in PM if eventually we don't manage ourselvesValue add: Opportunity for some forced appreciation, but not a full reno - cosmetic upgrades and updating kitchens/baths while we live in one unit.

Definitely stay away from the guru/seminars crowd and stick with the organic communities like BP and local free meetups.

Welcome to the Community Anthony!

@Ali HamadeSince your property is ideal for house hacking and generating rental income, targeting an investor-friendly audience is a smart approach.

As for financing, focusing on saving while learning is smart, but also take time to research creative strategies.

An approach that we use is to provide value to the homeowner - especially to distressed homeowners.   

I am posting this to hear from you all suggestions on how I should approach purchasing a condo.

The key to purchasing more real estate is by focusing on the fundamentals of the real estate.
