You get straight to it.

There is always the debate that jumping straight into RE investing is the best way to learn.

Some basic topics areas I would advise becoming familiar with are current market trends in your area for real estate, as well as financing opportunities that you'll be able to utilize (assuming you won't be paying straight cash for the property.

There's a back entrance that can either turn through a doorway into the main floor kitchen or go straight down into the basement.

If you don’t want a party (which Airbnb band all parties right now anyway) be straight forward.

This is also why I stop by any new purchases on my way to closing with my realtor to ensure it is empty and they are out and then go straight there to change the locks after.  

In fact, Joe Fairless's book has many questions on this very topic that can be plucked straight from the book. 

Well a strategy I have been using with some success is to give a non-refundable DD check straight to the seller for an amount you deem acceptable (aside from the EMD check held at the title company).

This will not be a house hack, just a straight buy to LT rent initially, then possibly convert to a STR if approved by the county.We're looking at SFHs in the $300k-$500k range, so the downpayment will at least $60-$100k.

@Matthew OlszakThanks for the straight forward advice.
