I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida.

I am very interested to start investing in Fort Wayne too, would love to connect with investors / realtors / property managers / contractors / any one in Fort Wayne! 

And you can do it with little cash, 5% down conventional is better than 3.5% FHA.House hacking also gives you a chance to cut your teeth in all major skills: analyzing deals, buying process, financing, working with contractors, advertising for rent, background checks, property management.

No big deal, I worked with insurance and contractors to get the repairs done.

From this definition and my experience with the Multifamily Mindset and their employees, independent contractors, and sponsors they promote that is exactly what it is in my opinion.I joined the program in June of 2021.

I do not want to pay a plumber to do the plumbing for this work.
