The strategic location in a growing market and the opportunity to significantly increase the property's value through renovations made it an attractive investment.

I've ran the numbers, we would get it for around 35k, about 35-40k in repairs and the ARV is right around 120k depending on the current state of the market.

The gulf coast is a great market and offers opportunities in all 3 areas.

What else should be doing in terms of tech, CRM, networking, social media and marketing to have max effects on mentee locating, market identification, tenant marketing And deal finding....

I would first find a market that is showing signs of market growth.

Yes, the deposit is refundable only if we can not deliver free and clear marketable title.

Purchased off market for 180k, EST rehab 40k, EST sale price 279k.

Hopefully someone from that market will chime in and make it easy for you!

So I took action, I know nothing, so I thought the fist step would be talking with an agent and get an idea of the market value, make numbers, and then look for options to finance the asset.

My other option to house hack is Pittsburgh as I have family there but the property taxes are insane and it seems like the room rental market is very college oriented (I could be wrong.)I'd appreciate any feedback on Hagerstown and househacking.
