I wouldn't suggest investing further than 2 states away from where you live.

But if you can find a good one, they can really help move your investing forward.

I am interested in learning more about House Hacking as well as small and large multi-family investing.

Houses have flipped on my street for $MM - bought at 400k and sold at 1.7M or bought at 800k and sold for 3.2M, etc...We can either add a second floor and invest a lot (OPM) and sell or invest a little (our equity) not add a 2nd floor and rent it out to keep it for future sake.

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in San Luis Obispo.

We can give you lots of thoughts on what might be happening, but you don't want to invest based on that.

When I first started looking into real estate investing, I was a little more strapped for cash and had looked into wholesaling.

Hi James,This post has been very helpful as I am new to real estate investing and I recently came across my first New Buyer Agreement Form.

I don't invest in that area, but I have also heard it is hard to find a space that is zoned properly while hitting the metrics STR investors may want.
