How do I deal with this situation, please advise.Thanks

I wish I had pulled off a house hack earlier in my days-it's an absolute no brainer if you can accomplish it...you might have to open your search up to additional areas; not sure if that's an option for you, but as mentioned, getting the deal is the most important part. 15-20 mins from your ideal location shouldn't rule out the property. 

This leads me to speculate that in the far future when Atlanta becomes the big city I think it’ll be, this Condo will probably be worth a lot more in the future, so this is actually an ideal unit for a long term buy and hold (if you have other cashflow to deal with the expenses).ExpensesI’m just going to post a picture of the spreadsheet I used for this.Operating Expenses + CapEx AssumptionsThe three main expenses here are the HOA fees, Property management fees for when expansion occurs, and taxes.

Ideally looking for Multifamily but will also consider SFR if the numbers make sense.Look forward to hearing from you soon.

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.Directly owned properties are great because they give you maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how you want.

Ideally by the end of the year.

My goal is to do contract assignments and buy/hold properties so having someone that is knowledgeable in both areas would be ideal.

Ideally I'd like to find a Duplex on the Kansas Side or North KC side, live in one side, rent out the side.

I realize that it's hard to get something under $100k that would be in an ideal short term rental location but I'm curious if anyone knows if a smaller house in a "regular" neighborhood of Pensacola would have any viability as a short term rental?

You ideally want a fiduciary financial planner that not only provides investment management, but year-round proactive planning that helps you reduce your taxes, increase cash flow, protect your liabilities, etc.
