Thanks for all the great advice.Due to a growing family house hacking is not an ideal option for me.

For most people DIY is NOT a good option and will probably fail at anything you are trying to accomplish.This is not legal advice, it's practical advice.

We don't have a lot for a down payment, so house hacking another SFH seems like the best option for purchasing in the new location. 

Listing my rental through a RE agent is a great option, and we did for the past 2 years.

This bill is all about making it easier for pet owners to find housing and ensuring there are more pet-friendly rental options out there.Essentially, landlords wouldn’t be able to say “no pets allowed” without a good reason.

Hi Ryan Biankowski if it were me I would keep my $10k in the bank for holding costs as well as you'll need funds for items you need to put deposits on like cabinets, counters etc.I would find a great deal, use an HML for my first position lender and a PML for the second.

An REO would be your best option as a first-time investor because the bank has to make certain repairs so it is livable upon turnover.

A bad PM can cost you a lot of money in the long run, and a good one can save/make you more than you would have saved using the cheaper option.

Is there a better option for me to consider the price point I’m in.  

There's a number of them, here's a few options that come to mind....Micheal Sjogren--STR SecretsAnnette and Sarah--Thanks for VisitingTony and Sara RobinsonRob Abasolo--Host Camp
