It doesn’t seem ideal to poor my money into a property that’s not mine, but I’d still like to take an edge in my market.

Ideally, I'd like to house hack with a Triplex or 4-plex.

They are all still in my father's name, but I get the bills and pay them.The only thing I'm not paying is cable and internet because those are not essential. 

@Alex JamaelWorking with investors is a relationship business, so take your time to build these relationships (ideally way ahead before you need the money), show your track record, your credibility, references, and of course offer to help them make some money on the side.

Ideally you would want to turn around and make $10,000 in 10 days, and resell to a cash buyer.

I also see older investors getting out of the game and people who jumped in and realized that real estate is not their ideal way to make money.

Of course, this is an ideal situation because ANYTHING can happen, however I want to start forecasting.

Ideally, I will be using the house hacking method so I would like to purchase a duplex/triplex.

I know others who have gone into their branch as they need to pay bills and don't have internet. 

I agree.I created a system called "The IDEAL Wealth Grower" where I help you to make successful OOS investments.
