To avoid analysis paralysis, should I just commit to a house-hack style even if SoCal is a sky-high market?

Would it be more beneficial to try another strategy like a live in flip on a single family home BRRRR style?

Where most people struggle with brrrr and flipping is they don’t understand style and quality and how to negotiate.

@Daivic Vora, do you have a certain style property you are looking for and cant decide on which city?

Because of the pandemic I moved and am now working for a single family home builder in Northern Alabama (Hyde-Homes).Coming from an older city I have seen thousands of different building types, styles, heating, lighting, flooring ect.

My wife and I are based in Austin, TX and we're in the process of purchasing a home – we close on 4/28/21.For context, we're taking on a bit of a project, an old cottage-style home (built in 1948) located in Central Austin (~5-6 miles north of downtown). 

I need IKEA style.

Hey BP,My wife and I found an 8 bedroom, 4 bath property that used to be an adult care facility that we were thinking about renting out the rooms to military personnel since it is located very close to a base.My question is do you think this is a good strategy and that military personnel would be okay living in a dorm-style setting such as this?

Purchase price: $185,000 Cash invested: $235,000 Sale price: $658,000 Purchased an older ranch style home, remodeled and added an addition which value added 2 additional bedrooms, master bathroom and large office along with decks, stone entry and solar panel.

They'll give you a sense of the investment style of the author as there are different styles to invest which differs from investor to investor.
