After I came back from visiting there, I had more confidence of the homes I wanted to put an offer in because I was at least familiar with the areas. 

As you advance with knowledge it  will give you more confidence. 

I think I’ve just found my excuse to fit NO into my travel sked...

Hello,Would love some opinions/advice.I currently have 10k saved up and plan on saving another 10k for first home purchase for house hack.Background on me and new position:New Account Manager position where I will be traveling for work within surrounding states and work from home Mondays.

Wife wouldn’t be too keen on house hacking but I’m confident holding onto the other property is the smart move.

I am an electrician for the union and plan on traveling the states building windmills until I can get a steady income of rentals, then hopefully I can start investing and helping others pursue the same passion for real estate.   

It is a little riskier than cash, because you have to pay it off, but generally, it is my go to for flips, since I am confident I will make at least a little money, and leaves my cash accounts available to live off of.

What neighborhood was this in that you felt confident putting so much into it?

I can travel anywhere within 45 minutes of Charlotte.

Based on my market analysis though of comparables, $2300 could probably get someone good to lease, and $2200 I'm pretty confident will for surely get a renter.
