Quote from @Tony Schmucker: Quote from @Wale Lawal: @Tony SchmuckerFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your strategy to relocate, house hack, and transition properties to management is a strong, methodical approach.

Today’s buyers want spaces that flow naturally and maintain functionality.

My professional background is data science / analytics, which means analyzing cash flows will probably come more naturally than building relationships, which apparently, is how one finds deals worth making.Are there meetups in these areas I should attend (digitally at first, presumably)? 

What methods of investing are you looking to do?

What's the highest success percentage method to find a previous tenant's new address for this? 

And while nothing is foolproof the most consistent method of finding good vendors is relying on OTHER real estate investors that have worked with those vendors. 

@Akshay Bhaskaran, off market deals, by nature are not marketed, so as others noted you have to work to find them.  

What are the best methods to independently verify zoning and land use data to ensure compliance with local regulations?

I want this to be acceptable long term if I keep this method of financing.
