-Preferred format for future events - Ideally, in-person.

Ideally, I was planning to buy a multi-family out in Austin, but they are slim to come by in my price range.

Ideally, we’re trying to find a house in a nice neighborhood that we can slowly fix, living in it, and hopefully sell it for a profit if we decide to leave.

Analyze your ideal audience and develop strategies to give them what they NEED to see in order for them to trust you..Credibility.Credibility is ALL you need to focus on.Ask yourself.How many people here do DMM, Cold Calling, Driving for dollars, bandit signs?

How do I deal with this situation, please advise.Thanks

I wish I had pulled off a house hack earlier in my days-it's an absolute no brainer if you can accomplish it...you might have to open your search up to additional areas; not sure if that's an option for you, but as mentioned, getting the deal is the most important part. 15-20 mins from your ideal location shouldn't rule out the property. 

This leads me to speculate that in the far future when Atlanta becomes the big city I think it’ll be, this Condo will probably be worth a lot more in the future, so this is actually an ideal unit for a long term buy and hold (if you have other cashflow to deal with the expenses).ExpensesI’m just going to post a picture of the spreadsheet I used for this.Operating Expenses + CapEx AssumptionsThe three main expenses here are the HOA fees, Property management fees for when expansion occurs, and taxes.

Ideally looking for Multifamily but will also consider SFR if the numbers make sense.Look forward to hearing from you soon.

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.Directly owned properties are great because they give you maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how you want.

Ideally by the end of the year.
