PASSIVE real estate investing and once you make that choice, then decide which of the multiple paths down those tracks to take. 

Thank you Maureen, I can't comment on your areas of choice, never been to any of them! 

House-hacking is a great choice, but usually with a higher buy-in in areas you'd want to live (Midtown and Medical District have a lot of these types of units). 

90% occupancy, that’ll definitely cover the note and expenses (assuming you bought right).Nice might be right for you’re choice of living conditions, but not always the right choice for your investments.

I had this happen as well on a resale listing - someone put it on craigslist as a rental for a ridiculously low monthly rent for the neighborhood, and I found out about it because the smart people were looking it up on Zillow thinking it was too good to be true, then calling me as my number was on the real for-sale listing. 

Example:  If you have a choice between paying $100k for a property or 20k and leveraging $80k, you are far better off only spending $20k.Numbers:  $20k down = $200/m or $2400/yr; $100k down = $400/m or $4800/yr.Buy 2 properties using $20k down for each and you have the same cash flow as the $100k DP option. 

Of course, there will be a premium attached for their work, and you can expect to pay cash or equivalent (hard money or line or credit), but this is still a great choice for someone who doesn't want to (or can't afford to) do all the work of marketing to find motivated sellers.

@Paniz Kosarianfard I have a client that moved from Dallas to the Bay Area and I don't think the Bay Area would be my top choice.

Hello the smart people of the community,My name is roy I live in Vegas NV and I’m tired of paying rent and not seeing any Financial freedom on the horizon.

If my attorney was not smart enough to put in disclaimers that the seller chose not to use an attorney or similar language to cover the issue I would be looking for a new attorney.
