What I'm hoping to find: I'm hoping to make connections, for mutual benefit; this could be investor friendly agents who have experience with identifying promising house hacks, investors who are looking for an additional financial partner, investors who are looking for a partner to help manage the load of projects (I am naturally drawn to planning and execution), and more broadly anyone who is willing to share experience and create new connections!

Here is my method I got that has done me wonders, I used the method from Brandon Turners book on managing properties:1.)

•If CPI remains high (3.4% or above): Mortgage rates are likely to stay at current levels or even increase slightly as the Fed remains restrictive.

That brings us to 2- the ability to negotiate to CREATE a good/great deal3- financial staying power (being able to survive when things go south)4 - property management 5- creativity 

You need a reserve to handle unexpected costs, particularly during the first 1-2 years of ownership and learning how to manage the property. 

It’s impressive how you took this single-family fix-and-flip from start to finish, self-financing and managing the project as the GC.

-- sort of depends where you live and if you want to invest out of state / have the ability to manage a team remotely, the best out of state investors are very active in managing their teams.

Building a strong team (agent, contractor, lender, property manager) is key—seek referrals from experienced investors.

If numbers work and risks are manageable, this could be a solid house hack!

These lenders wont lend directly on your kind of deal, but they're typically the borrower-facing subsidiaries of asset managers, and their account execs will have partners to refer you to.
