It’s awesome to see your enthusiasm for real estate investing!

@Michael VelezHouse hacking is a great way to start investing, as it helps you reduce living expenses while building equity.

Neighborhoods to invest in is a more subjective topic as that is often dependent on the type of investment you're interested in, your price point and even the type of tenants, if that's the route your going,  that you are trying to attract.

Looking to learn from those with experience in remote investing!

@Lawrence MitchellIt’s great that you’ve built a basic understanding of real estate investing!

I am leaning on local first for my next investment, but not ruling out an out-of-market opportunity. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

But I find that most people want to invest in areas that are solid and that don't have bad tenant quality.

Quote from @Derek Wilke: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

You’re in the right place, and it’s great to see your enthusiasm about getting started in real estate investing.
