Hey @Jonathan Sanchez, a lot will depend on your area.If you are buying in a saturated area with lots of competition, then using an aggregator like Pricelabs to help make your pricing accurate is handy.If you are in an area that has less, then simply looking at nearby properties that are similar to yours on VRBO and AirBNB.

Any general advice for someone starting out in a partnership and looking to grow a portfolio?

Property is in C+ area but in a different School district that’s B-If I sale I’ll get 30k profit after 9 months.If I keep as a Long term rental I’ll have to convert the garage into a illegal 1 bed cottage at an additional cost of $35k leaving a total of $107k left in this deal after 70% refi and closing cost.

I've also been in a similar situation in the past and solved it with a wrap.

Anyone can get 4.3% now in a 100% treasury fund (was 5% until recently), virtually risk-free.

I'd love to find some other people who are currently invested with Fairway America and - ideally - in this exact investment.Thanks,Matt BrownFairway has put out a ton of deals in a variety of real estate asset classes and strategies.

Especially in a more competitive market where the options are plentiful.

You can present an offer that aligns with your financial goals, but be prepared to walk away if the seller won’t negotiate to a price that ensures you’re not left in a tough financial situation.

My advice: don’t overthink it—your first house hack is about learning, so pick a strong rental market, ensure solid demand, and lock in a deal that gets you close to break-even or better.
