@Florian KuehneHi Florian,I think those cash flow and return numbers are definitely attainable for a house hack, especially if you force appreciation through the initial renovation. 

I am looking for a partner/team so we could work together, hold each other accountable for our goals and meet on a regular basis to keep track of our progress. 

If you can't find one, I would take a regular lease and tweak it to your requirements.Also google Master lease example or template.

They have regular meetings in Windsor.

Or is it more trying to educate and persuade regular sellers?

Are there places that either you visit on a regular basis or would like to visit? 

Now before we make any steps we want to have all the information that is attainable first!

@Jerry Lundergard gutters are usually the solution along with watering regularly.

The rental rates are decent, and can be great if acquiring properties at typical investor discounts. 1-1.5% rental to price ratios are still very attainable in A & B Neighborhoods, and sometimes up to 2% if investing in C Areas.

At the time I bought them, they were selling at Costco for regularly $29.99 for a 2-pack, and were on sale for only $23.99.
