Does anyone know of a list site that will provide targeted lists (that are not a scam) like:- Owners of houses who have owned thier homes for over 20 years (posssible repair problems so they might sell for less, or possible free and clear owners who might sell for terms)- Non-owner occupied (burned out landlords)Then one could do a direct mail campaign.

I am on my second house hack and to be honest, the first one was a much better deal and makes more sense on paper BUT I got exactly what I wanted in terms of spacing, layout, and location for the second so it checked off a different set of boxes. 

My long term goal is to get into Multifamily apartments.

Margins are small, and to me, the real wealth-building in REI comes from the long-term appreciation, not the short-term cash-flow.Anyway, welcome to the forums.

Love the possibilities this website is able to provide to its users in terms of meeting and sharing ideas/ concepts.

I am a rookie investor looking to invest in SFH to hold as rentals long term.

One thing everyone reading along should consider is how long it would take to repay your investment in a $10k, 20k or even 30K class by earning 5% on your money.

That went really well but didn't last long as this is a small town with a tiny college.

we currently live in long island, and was thinking of upstate NY, as that would be a drive away, if we ever decide to convert the STR to our vacation home.

House hacking is essentially the cheat code to get started into real estate investing.Generally done by utilizing FHA loans and 2-4 unit properties.Basically, buy a primary residence, live in it or one of the units for 12 months, move out buy again and do it all over again.Each time you can utilize fha as long as you refi the former before you use it again.Great way to buy a lot of properties with low entry cost!
