@Joseph SchweizerI'm in the process of working with RTR.

I recently started to look at houses in Philadelphia and I noticed that there are many cheap houses with squatters.Is the process to evict them hard? 

I've heard house hacking can be a good way to get started, but I'm unsure how to go about the process. 

Just stick to the process, if you are not committed to diligently screening your tenants, and not allowing exceptions you will not succeed or be happy.

Have you processed a claim with them yet?

Cash Flowing, learning the process on closing a deal was great and the upkeep/PMing part of the job is something I also find important to learn before thinking of scaling!

My aim is to not only profit financially but to gain in the process some intangible assets, such as project management skills, getting to know reliable professionals (i.e. realtors, contractors, designers, etc.) for the long-term, getting acquainted with the local market's promises and pitfalls, and basically adding some entrepreneurial muscle going into my next project.My strategy is to go small: find a second-hand apartment in a good location (I don't have enough funds for a GREAT location...); no more than 60-70 m2 (that's about 650-750 f2) to, among other things, lower renovation costs; 1-2 bedrooms, street facing and with a lift (if said apartment is above the second floor); with good bones, i.e., needs only partial renovation.
