Then it's about staying on top of your target market.

@Andre TaylorI would start reaching out to local banks and credit unions and start building a list of lenders that are interested in financing your target property types.

For house hacking, it's great to target R2 or R3 zones that are surrounded by R1 zones.Zoning has zero impact on loans.

Can you target finding cheaper / used materials on FB marketplace, craigslist?

I'd target homes that need a little fixing up, and do live in flips/house hacking since you are a contractor. 

As for your list, are you targeting older homes only or an entire neighborhood?

But if you target specific properties, you could be accused of poaching if your letter goes to someone who already has an agency relationship.If you form an LLC with the intention of conducting real estate business, the LLC will need a brokers license.

The issue of the property appraising out later on is still out there, I suspect if target prices don't hold to be true and the owner still makes a profit at the appraised value, it would be sold.

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

Our target property is around 100k and we would put between 30-50% down.
