I bought my first house (Duplex) last January.

For example, my friend's house was put on a lis pendens just because he had the same common name as a plaintiff in a divorce case in another state.

I don't want to do BRRR or house flipping. 

Hi Justin.Nice to meet you here  We are also investor in the high desert, we have been doing the house hack method so far 3 sfh in Hesperia and apple valley.

We are interested in buying a beach house that we would rent out part time through weekly vacation rentals and would enjoy ourselves the rest of the time.

Check out the Ann Arbor Real Estate Investors Club hosted by Brian Bundesen and the Dirty House Buyers meetup (holds their monthly meetings in Ypsi) hosted by Gerrit Stukkie. 

We use a national supply house for everything and do mostly builder grade with upgrades where they need to be at.

This is especially true for novice , first time house hackers and investors.

@Sandy RLAre you still flipping houses?

After six months on the market, we received no commucation nor any potential tenant inquiries which we found to be extremely strange given the good shape of the house and pricing.At last we decided to take the property back.
