I have a house, no kids, good income, no debt.

To them 100 houses with 1 renter each is the same as 14 full houses in terms of profit. 

So I have an applicant who says she will pay 8 months rent upfront to get the house.

From hearing different strategies like BRRR, Fix & Flip, House-Hacking, etc., I've gained most interest in Mid/Long-Term Rentals and BRRR's, and I would most likely want to try to Owner Occupy a House-Hack as my first property. 

while you continue to learn about wholesaling, can you look into house hacking? 

why don't you just house hack the property instead by yourself?

Is there one area that is typically viewed as the best option for house hacking? 

its not like they got a rehabbed rented house in the HOOD. and paid to much for it.. that is common as we know. they got in most cases a hood house with no rehab.. 

In fact, my dk plan for a long time has been "identify the property in foreclosure, DK 5 properties either side of that house as "a realtor in the area saying hi", then have a difference conversation with the owners in foreclosure, so it is targeted rather than needle in a haystack. 

I have 3 of my houses with 2 different PM's.
