Hi,I typically rent my 3-bedroom property through a short-term rental platform, but I was recently contacted by an insurance relocation company looking to place a family in temporary housing while work is done on their home.

The day I received my RE license my wife said “so when are you going to sell your first house”?

Example: You find a house and the seller needs $100,000 for it.

For example in Reno, NV there are many homes with walkout basement areas that can be made into separate studio apartments that will get more rent than just the room in the house.

The quick answer is no, but best to read this article as various states have certain requirements: https://www.zillow.com/learn/do-i-need-an-agent-to-sell-my-house/

I've been tracing wholesalers in califonia for months, like nothing other state finding individual wholasalers in califonia is quite challenging I don't know if it's because the house prices are too high compared to other markets.

That could mean working with an investor willing to fund the deal for a share of the profits or starting smaller with a house hack or live-in flip to build credibility, or putting sweat equity into a deal with a partner to learn and build your track record.

If the house is under water with the OCWEN mortgage, then approach the mortgage holder about a short sale. 

The best next step is to define your investment goals—whether it's house hacking, long-term rentals, or flips—and start networking with local investors in Houston.

Is the closet on an exterior wall where it's cooler than the rest of the house?
