I started my investing in Fort Worth and a number of my flips were in older neighborhoods near downtown where I could add a master suite for about $105-$110 a square foot, and have the finished product selling for over $200 a square foot.There seem to be plenty of small 600-800 sq ft bungalow style homes near downtown Raleigh and downtown Durham that would be perfect for this.

Remember there are plenty of jobs out there and if they are responsible, they would search for other jobs or ways to pay the rent.

  $50 says there are PLENTY of people wholesaling in St.

Yes, the houses here are not under $100k, but there are plenty of places where you can invest for little more than that.

I wouldn't waste anytime joining a brokerage, do plenty of research and interview with multiple offices.

While there will be plenty of good properties to house hack here in Portland when you get here (eventually), the real question is what to do know.

BP is obviously a great resource, plenty of helpful and qualified lenders within these forums. 

Plenty of them. 

Now is just a good time to be prudent and cautious and conduct our business in the most professional way possible.I’ll end my post with this and an invitation to share.I am a firm believer in faith and fear.

Phoenix is a great market for that, renters are plentiful and I have a very low vacancy rate.
