It's incredible the difference can make just investing in the state (sometimes even the city) next to where you're looking.  

I live in Orange County and I have been looking into some out-of-state investments for single family up to triplex for a buy and hold to build my rental portfolio.

Hi @Rachel Payton, The house you are looking at purchasing, does it have a separate space set aside solely for the business or is it a "single family" type home that will just serve as a home office? 

Even facebook will have some.

Hey Everyone,I just graduated college with no debt so I want to buy my first property and House Hack with college students, I found a property currently selling for $175,000 dollars, but I think It can be negotiated to a lower purchase price since it is a little outdated and the other houses in that same street have sold for less money, although it is outdated it could be rented for $550 dollars a month + utilities  and since it is a 4 bed, 2 baths; renting out the other 3 bedrooms while I live in one of them would help me break even with the house's monthly expenses.

Form a team: Assemble a trustworthy group of experts, such as a mortgage broker, property inspector, real estate agent, and maybe even a property manager.

And I've had no VRBO bookings for several months, even after becoming a Premier host. 

Hey, good afternoon/evening everyone.

Hello,  I've been putting offers in on for my first rental property (single family homes out of an HOA).

I'm seeing more and more cracking around some windows and even in the brick/masonry.
