I've decided to take my experience to the next level and venture into flipping houses myself and hoping to see it become more full-time in the future.  

Were you planning on house hacking your first?

Should we rent the first house out or sell it?

I’m currently house hacking and mortgage is covered and then some .

Hi, I have a rental house in McKinney free and clear (without mortgage).

I moved from Florida to start investing in Columbus because of the same reason.https://www.zillow.com/learn/hottest-housing-markets-2024/

You're in the right place.You have a lot on your plate and it's hard to figure out everything at the same time but you're definitely on the right track.The most achievable option to start the journey will be house-hacking.

I bought a town house in MN in 2020 and have been renting it out for a couple of years.

Are these numbers reasonable for Tulsa (0.9 for rent-to-price ratio and B class neighborhoods focussing on affordable housing) and the duplex should cash-flow about ~$200/door with 25-30% down.For other investors in Tulsa, not targeting value-add (BRRRR, ...) - would you consider this a reasonable deal (don't need a home-run)?

@Ariana GraceOpen houses are a great source for first time buyers as they often don’t have a Realtor yet and are just looking.
