Hi Matt, House hacking is very popular with beginners.

Seems your referral to a women's group is pretty popular in this thread.

This is a popular method to execute the BRRRR strategy.

The drawback of relying solely on MLS, realtor.com, zillow.com, or similar listing sites is their widespread popularity.

In these smaller, growing cities that are not necessarily as populated or popular yet, you have room for lots of appreciation, but you also get better cash flow opportunity, that you don't have to wait for.

You're in a great area that will always be popular.

@Karan Shah The popular answer always seems to be anywhere in Collin County.

The biggest question here is your risk tolerance. 1031 DSTs are perfect for investors who want low risk investments while Syndications are more popular amongst investors with high risk tolerance.

-Give them advice on what's popular in your area (meaning stay on top of what's hot).

I don't thinknitbis so much about a specific area as it is a good price on a specific property that has views and amenities that people want.I would set up search for popular mountain tourist locations and be patient till the right property comes along and be ready to pounce.You can put a property under contract to lock it up and then schedule a viewing and make a decision during the due diligence time.
