Hi - I am new on this platform - but am looking to help people accomplish financial freedom through real estate. 

I bet you heard but the market around those areas are booming right now, especially since it is a buyers market, it gives you an advantage to get better deals from sellers while people are continously moving there, especially for jobs like tech, logistics, etc. 

I know people who do this and I do not believe there are issues with it, but speak to an attorney and they should probably notify the company if they are an employee of that company that they are doing this.

I'd like to find honest people who are not going to rip me off.

I've seen a lot of people try this, and they rarely use the home. 

I bought a single family because I thought I could house hack in the same way as a duplex and in ways it certainly could have and did work but I didn't expect the relational aspects of having people living in a property I purchased.

When you have a proven track record of performance, then you can play with other people's money. 

Asa result, we are seeking alternative methods for acquiring off-marketproperties.While we havedeveloped a robust system for identifying and pre-qualifying potential landparcels, one of the major hurdles we face is reaching the property owners.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: There are probably more experienced people on this type strategy who will hopefully chime in. 

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.
