@Kamal Khetrapal  When we were setting up our OZ Funds, we spoke directly with the IRS. 

I recently started as an agent in SC after a move, therefore lacking a sphere of influence, friends or family to work for and gain experience.

Attempt to find someone in your social sphere as the tenant ideally. 

But since it's a house hack, you have better control over how your roommates/ tenants use the property as you live at the property.Also consider if you have the house under your name and you move out in the future, your sphere of influence decreases which inherently increases potential of liability.

Have you reached out to you sphere to fund the deal? 

Your best bet is to leverage your sphere.

One of the programs that I'm on the fence about is Bob Diamond "Tax Sale Overager" and the other is by a guy named Oguz Oz Konar Bussiness lending Blue Print" Please give me all the information you can on these guys.Tnanks Family

Then, once you've gotten the reps with the partner you'll be a sound investment to your friends, family, and other sphere members who you'll invite to partner with you in flips.

Podcasting - same thing, takes consistency and a bit of tech knowledge, and is a long term game.Basically, I think many agents are successful marketing to and getting referrals from their sphere, others seem to do well with cold calling, and even those that would like to offer valuable content via video or podcasting run into the 'start-up' hurdle of how to get started, and then consistency fails when they get busy with actual clients.Speaking at least for myself here, I love teaching on video and actually know how to do it and have often thought of doing home buyer info videos for clients and prospective buyers but still haven't done it.But, if it's something you'd actually like to do and are excited about and would do consistently, then I think it would be a great idea, regardless of which venue you picked. 

Your next step should be to start reaching out to your sphere of influence.
