Going to take some time but I’m hopeful to help make downtown a place in excited to bring my kids to and for them to know their dad played a small part!

Water - landlord plays in JC heights typically.

It's a $10/mo subscription that you can turn off after starting it, meaning you'll have 30 days to play with it. 

It’s a bit like playing Monopoly but with real addresses and real money.. and when done right, it can feel like unlocking a secret level in the real estate game.But hey, no point pretending it’s all sunshine and roses.

Its not near any major cities where someone might look at it as a long play for path of progress.Another option might be to see if a solar farm or wind farm company might be interested once its clear cut. 

You may pay 1.5m and up for a good one, likely more if parking and balconies, but the play is to buy a multi and then wait and in a few years, turn them into condos and sell them separately - that's how you make the money there.

You’ll live rent-free in one unit while the tenants cover the mortgage.Here’s the play: do it for 12 months, then repeat each year for 3 years.

Will need to know density, parking requirements, can the building withstand building on top, lot size, future planning etc…. depending on how well the zoning and platting dept plays with others!

I have a good friend who has some great data on all the different neighborhoods - I am happy to share that with you.Also, if you don't have a lender already, I have some rockstars that I know like and trust.What sport do you play?

If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.
