However I can’t find anyone my area to do it.   

Do you find that certain factors weigh more heavily in your decision-making process for these types of deals?

I'm looking in the Central Texas area at SFR, 3br 2 bath and can find good properties around the $250,000 price range.

You'll likely find many in this community willing to share their knowledge, especially with a mutual benefit like that.Start by reaching out to local real estate investment groups or networking events in DFW, as well as connecting with folks here on BiggerPockets who have experience in your target market.

@Andre BrockRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Hi Biggerpockets community, I’ve been hooked to real estate investment lately and determined to buy the first property in the next 6 months.

How do you find expired listings?

Starting with a multi-family property and house hacking is a smart strategy to build wealth in real estate.

It's only 4 months old, but I am finding that it has to be regularly drained and refilled due to how the guest use it or abuse it.
