I recommend having a local experienced investor (an unbiased party not someone trying to sell you something) do a detailed video tour of the property and the street/neighborhood before you submit an offer and paying them for their time $100 or $150.

I've written a lot on the forums about all the reasons house hacking is the best strategy for beginner investors--feel free to take a look at those posts.I'd suggest starting with a more beginner-friendly strategy, get your experience from that, and THEN (if you want), try the more difficult strategies like OOS REI.

If you need help running numbers to determine the return of both options, or simply chat further feel free to reach out.

@Bruce Woodruff it's a free country, so you can do anything you want.On the other hand, many people jump to conclusions without all the facts and often don't process facts correctly.My manager's brother-in-law belongs to a very exclusive country club - they've host PGA events regularly.They approached our management company about potential rentals that their DOCUMENTED temporary H-1B visa workers could use - with multiple workers staying in the property for the  summer.We couldn't find an owner willing to agree to a short-term lease at an acceptable price.So, how accurate are your assumptions with the limited data posted?
