I am definitely open to sacrificing some things like comfort and room size.

@Trevor PhillipsWhen the world gets back to being comfortable with face to face meeting they are all over the place.

I want to invest in buy and hold SFH's that range from $100,000 to $150,000 that are within a 20 mile radius of my college.Once you defined what you want to do - educate yourself as much as you can(books, podcasts, blog posts) until you feel comfortable to jump in.Stretching yourself too thin, especially when you start is not a good idea.

I don't think the market is going to reflect a recession for awhile so I wouldn't count on a lower price for that purpose, but you can negotiate a price you feel comfortable with. 5.

I do think it will pick up as we come out of this, but I may be dropping my weekly price dramatically if it doesn’t pick up significantly by mid to late May.Fortunately STR and REI aren’t my main sources of income and I can more than comfortably afford the mortgage.

My comfort zone is SFR however I would be interested in small multifamily properties as well!

I would also look and see if you are comfortable on how much you will be making monthly.

Too close to comfort IMO. 

If you're comfortable renting rooms in a house, you can get really low down payment. 

What kind of house hack you do is up to your comfort level.
