If you guys wouldn’t mind taking a look at some numbers and sharing any advice.

Thanks for sharing the info on the insurance company, I'll keep it in mind.

Having lost $100K in my first round of OOS in the Phoenix market, I actually won't mind give it a 2nd try, but this time around, I would ONLY buy at pennies on the dollar...

I suppose the holding cost would now be $17,820 instead on 12 months (this is money I need to budget for for my own peace of mind, correct?).

The more you continue to look and network with like-minded individuals, letting everyone you talk to know what you're trying to find, I am sure you will come across the right house-hack investment.

Also, I will be in Phoenix, AZ in a week for a volleyball tournament, so if you're reading this and are from that area and wouldn't mind giving me an hour of your time and sit down for lunch or something to chat about real estate investing, that would be awesome as well.

What I am trying to achieve from this forum:1) Surround myself with more like minded people in and around the Charlotte area.2) Meet people that have experience in the Charlotte market and have been successful. 3) Find private investors that want to pull money together and do deals with.4) Learn as much as I can.

You might have to tweak your marketing strategy to attract an investment-minded person rather than the home-buying market. 

They sound knowledgeable and like they have your best interests in mind.

Hey everyone, my name is Zach and I am seeking the advice of like-minded individuals with the experience that I have yet to attain.
