Any creative ways to move into the house and not make it a primary? 

My local housing authority put in some vague language to the payment standards for the landlord.

The housing market in OKC is poised for continued growth and stability. 

I would be looking for mostly abandoned or run down houses that need repairs.

The very cheapest way to go is for you to wash the interior of the house. 1) Washing from the celing to the floor, including everything ( such as lighting fixture covers, the surface area above the cabinets, etc) is extremely time consuming and not easy.

I do believe it will help, giving me access to the MLS and can run comps and have knowledge of the market.Also, will be looking to house hack and buy and holds if I can get all the pieces to fall together.Will be attending meetups to network.Will be searching for my own deals with some local realtors.

The house has been on the market two weeks and is sold with a earnest depost of 40%.

1) House hack or buy within a 2 hour drive.

I'm a newbie trying to rent out rooms in my 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house in Seattle.

Looking to get into my first rental thinking house hacking would be the best start.
