total remodel Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

What are some things to keep in mind, how does one do a background check, what are the laws regarding that (I'm in St Louis), any advice, thoughts recommendations etc is greatly appreciated.Thank you@Rania MutumheHi Rania,Usually house hacking is where you have a multi-family property (like a duplex or triplex) and each tenant has their own unit.  

As the population continues to grow and more high income earners move here to work at Toyota, Boom, etc. the average purchase price will continue to rise making it even more difficult for first time buyers to break into the market.

@Juliette Olsen professional property management is my recommendation.

I recommend living there and renting out the upstairs, save as much as you can so that you can buy the next one. 

I am looking for a few recommendations for lawyers and realtors in good affordable cities close to or along the Mediterranean.

You can ask around to your local agents to see if they have any good people to recommend.

Does anyone have any recommendations for lenders that are friendly to those of us who are self employed? 

Baltimore's growing market further enhanced its appeal.

Having recently embarked on my journey in learning the real estate industry, I am eager to learn, grow, and contribute to our community.I believe that becoming actively involved in the community is essential to my growth and success in this field.
