Property is in class A neighborhood.

All the ingredients exist, it only needs organization and leadership. 

I’ve also worked for a few investors, focusing on organizing maintenance, handling tenant relationships, and coordinating upgrades.Now, I’m venturing out on my own.

On top of this if at all possible I’d recommend choosing specific neighborhoods to become an expert on as opposed to just thinking “anywhere in the San Antonio market could work”.

I have even run my numbers using anywhere from 65%-80%, depending on the scope of work, timeline, neighborhood, and ARV. 

In older neighborhoods where yards need some help.  

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

Basically gentrified an old neighborhood.  

Rehab to the standard of the neighborhood.
