Ideally, I'd like to build a relationship with a local buyers agent that can help me find good investments to rent out.

Howdy,I'm looking to try house hacking in Austin, thinking it'd be best to get a 400kish 4 bed 2+ bath in a SFH with a FHA (3.5% down) and was wondering what are the going rates for renting a room in Austin and any tips or tricks that help with the process and if it gets a lot harder after moving out of the house (plan on living 2-3 years in it ideally).

The "ideal" situation is a low rate such as I am paying and having the manager do the work.  

I'm looking for lists that would include folks who've passed away, properties with water or electrical shut offs, and maybe more.Currently I have capital to employ and have three experienced investors, combined we have $350k to invest in Oregon - ideally on 5+ unit multifamily and mixed use projects to improve the communities and assist with housing.

Not an ideal place to run a business but good luck if you wanna try it!

The ideal referral would be someone you have personally worked with who is local to the Greater Los Angeles area, who knows how to handle accounting for income properties, and preferably also has experience with 1031 exchanges.

I think the ideal portfolio is a few properties that throw high cash flow (crappy), a very few that throw negative cash flow (you think they may have appreciation potential, and you bought for nothing down) and a bunch of bread and butter 3/2's in good neighborhoods, that throw moderate positive cash flow. 

I figure that searching for an ideal vacancy rate is logically a pretty critical aspect for a rental REI, no?

Ideally, I would like to net $100 - $200 per door.

My first property will ideally be within the vicinity of 10-50 units.
