@Kevin Duong Many places, Biggerpockets included put out lists of the “Best Markets of 2024” for example.

Below are the figures:Purchase Price: $225,369.78ARV: $199,000.00Mortgage Balance: $209,099.44Great thing about wraps, however, is you can add equity, interest, and your own terms, which is what the borrower did here.Via adding $101,000.00 in equity, the borrower plans to sell the property for $300,000.00 for a 30 year amortization and have the borrower place a down payment of $15,000.00.

I also moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH to start house hacking. 

Then packaged a few such properties together, went to a bank and refinanced them out and then tried to find a new property to put those private lenders on.Admittedly, we usually left some of our own money in the properties (our average all in price is about 82% of the ARV) but we had some money to work with which not everyone does (why I recommend house hacking to start for most).

I am starting out in real estate and would like to network with people.

I need to start buying my own properties.
