Live in one and rent the others.  

I'm lucky enough that my parents are allowing me to live at home for free for at least the foreseeable future so I want to take advantage of that.

Jersey City market is very expensive after running the numbers on multiple properties I just don't see how the numbers makes sense to still house hack there unless I'm doing airbnb or something like that while live in another unit.

If anyone thinks they have the expertise to target pre-foreclosures in the face of federal laws, attorneys being in the mix dealing on either side of these matters, Realtors being aware of the legal environment, banks delaying procedures in anticipation of sales or solutions, bank employees reviewing contracts and pending steps, what a seller may do in expectation of a sale and other issues.......well, you just have at it.  

I’ll try to make this short: my wife and I own a duplex that we did a live in BRRR (got the refi at 3.5%) and had owned an airbnb that we operated for 6 years but sold because the town decided to do away with them (very nice of them).

First official post to the forum; my name is Brendan and I live in Southern Ohio!

But they also want their brother to live with them.

Best, Brandon Yes I live in an a pretty large military town, theres a few universities here and major hospitals. 

I do my search and feel that Manchester, Liverpool , and Birmingham as most likely areas I can invest in , My goal is to have good houses "Single famliy" with good prices that can establish a good cash flow as passive income.For sorry I do not live in any of those ares, I know them from EPL and try to do the research based on income and thier share in UK GDP , for sure london is the best but I can not handle the prices there.Based on my reasech I can classigy them as follow : Manchester is the best in , Birmingham , and then liverpool.I see Liverpool houses is more but rent to prices ratio is low .I need your insights on this with your valuable advise , considering the area I choose , I will keep investing on it and enlarge my protfolio in it for the next 10 years.
