I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

These two contractors may not like that area, or just had one bad experience, so it would be great if you could explore more of what other experiences people had/have in the city. 

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.

Upon logging into my Stessa account, I discovered that all my property rent rolls, and transaction history from the past two years had disappeared.

Multifamily is considered residential since people reside in the structure. it's part of contractors license law, our testing is on it and violating can and will result in punitive actions.

I haven't dug into the actual agreement, but was curious because I'm not in a position to house hack, but see many people on here recommend the strategy.

I have a couple of people that this has happened to, and you need to have it in writing and tied to the property to make it work. 

So we shall elucidate five myths and truths about investing in them.Myth 1: Distressed Properties Are Always Money PitsMost people think that distressed properties require major renovations, which wipe out profit returns.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: There are probably more experienced people on this type strategy who will hopefully chime in.
