Although I've been studying and researching the biz, I'm brand spanking new to real estate investing.

Come to one of our meetings and you will meet a couple of them. 

The only previous experience I have is helping my grandparents buy/renovate/sell a couple properties during high school.  

One of the main reasons I have upgraded to an paying member of BP was because of the marketplace, and since the upgrade I have posted 3 property I had for sale here in Toledo, Ohio... (1) A multi unit that I sold through social media marketing (2) A SFH in a B- class working neighborhood that I told my mentor about whom ended up buying it(3) A Large 5bed 5bath home in the Historic Old West End (an A class neighborhood) that I have yet to sell but a local couple (that again seen it on another site) whom is pre approved plans to put it under contract after they learn more about the FHA 203k loan process.Now with other marketing sites I got a email or a call on each of these listings from investors EVERYDAY but I have yet to have any serious inquires about any of the 3 listing besides a few other noses/curios local investors that just wanted to check out the new competition in town lol.

We currently have a couple of SFRrentals up here in the WA area (Snohomish County) and are looking to increase our portfolio... but now I'm a bit torn on whether we continue to invest here in WA or if we look to AL now that we will likely be moving there by next summer.Pros and Cons that I've weighed for investing in AL as opposed to WA:Pro -1.) it's cheaper!!

I Have been working a little here and there for the past couple years.  

Shay, As you read others post on here, there are a couple options in the market for your project.We have a nationwide program that will portfolio and cash out with 30 year fixed rate.

Just curious as I am pursuing house hacking right now as well and have been considering the possibility of choosing a single also.Oh yeah, also I just moved from Quincy a couple months ago.

Welcome Tim,I have a couple new construction projects winding down in San Antonio, a duplex in NW and a fourplex in NE, both solid locations.  

Morgan,There are a couple things that, to me, stick out as potential issues. 1) Those comps seem old.
