here in Pittsburgh for example, you can buy properties in OK neighborhoods for $50-60K that need $80-100K rehabs. 

It doesn't matter what your rental income is.Anyone could buy in your neighborhood and make a STR.

Property is in class A neighborhood.

On top of this if at all possible I’d recommend choosing specific neighborhoods to become an expert on as opposed to just thinking “anywhere in the San Antonio market could work”.

I know that style and tenants will eat that top, drawers, and doors for breakfast.

For property selection, choosing a duplex or triplex in a good neighborhood can provide steady cash flow, while adding an ADU to a single-family home works well in areas with high rental demand like Portland.

Most of our team leads are generated on YouTube with long-form content, neighborhood reviews, market updates etc.

I have even run my numbers using anywhere from 65%-80%, depending on the scope of work, timeline, neighborhood, and ARV. 

With a teaching and leadership backgroud, I have an interest to help others write their programs or review their presentations to address every learning style.

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?
