thanks for the replies, to clarify a bit more, I'm mainly looking for an agent who can be my eyes and ears in the case I'm not able to be there in person to view the property.

A female tenant being evicted because a guy came over to their house.

i was exploring and saw some of the neighborhoods in kyle, Tx has school ratings like 8 and brand new houses in the range of 300K with potential rents at $2200 per month so overall making them cash flow positive. however, i am not sure why Kyle is a popular place. it is mid way between austin and san antonio but that does not seem to be a strong enough reason. 

The reality is many of these are not deals because the sellers will not do subto.Its like asking a married person to marry you and leave their spouse.

Housing is a sh*t show in Massachusetts.

I am lost on which avenue to take from the options of house hacking, buy and hold (short-term rental), buy and hold (mid-term rental), buy and hold (long-term rental), BRRRR, flipping, etc.

Just make sure to bring all the necessary documentation, like your LLC formation documents, EIN, and personal identification.

Because I'm new to the community and specifically to house hacking, I have so many questions and would love to hear about how you all got started.

My plan was to put down 35% while she would cover the remaining 65%.However, the seller has requested to be in escrow for 45-60 days so that he can complete a 1031 exchange and use the proceeds to buy another house within that period.

I plan on installing some form of termite protection after purchasing anyway, but is there anyway to make sure I'm not buying a house with a full blown infestation that could become a bigger issue?
