Hi TimothyGiven you have 2 years of job/income history, house hacking would be a great way to get started.

get more micro. we define a zip code as a market. there are about 7 zip codes in the city of columbus that we work in as well as about 15 in Miami. we look at the average housing unit delivered and try to develop under the median and average home or condo where there is a lot of absorption. that is mostly through smaller Floorplan design, smart floorplan design, etc. new construction and development you also have much more control over the overall development just my 2 cents. if you are just buying existing it's going to have some issues 

I'm currently house hacking (renting rooms) my current primary residence which is a single family home and has a mortgage.

I've seen a lot of our community members start out with third party, learn their systems, and then bring it in house when they own several hundred units.I would read the book Small Giants, by Bo Burlingham.

Many buyers can’t visualize the potential for an open space and a vacant house can seem cold/not homey.

The houses were in much better shape than other rental homes for sale that I looked at in the area.

In our experience, demand for Class B/C housing in still through the roof.

I am looking to live here and eventually house hack so as this opportunity already has 2 trailers it seems like a great fit for me. 

I have decided to take action and get started in real estate investing with house hacking and multi family.
