@Rene Hosman, I'm firmly in the online platform camp for preference.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

This list isn’t exhaustive but includes most of the best ways to find quality firms to partner with.Conferences.

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

In Mentor a bit nicer neighborhood I have a 57 unit and right next door to that in Willoughby another 9 unit we purchased that one 4 months ago.  

He took a 401(k) loan to fund the down payment on a four-unit building in a rapidly appreciating neighborhood.

In older neighborhoods where yards need some help.  

If that's the case, I’d suggest looking into A/B-class neighborhoods.

Those things won't matter if your business crushes it. i feel like it would matter when those things add up and start tearing at ur profit If banking fees cut into your profit, your profit isn't big enough. i just think we view it different bc I'm a firm believer it cutting cost and minimize it 

The people within your subdivision may sell the house for you, as they may have family/friends who want to live close to them, and people are always intrigued by new construction in their neighborhood.
