I prefer to not live in the ghetto and I have been exploring other ideas like purchasing a trailer and living in the backyard while fully renting out my house.Questions:What are some good areas to look for house hacking properties in?   

Personally, I believe lumber costs will continue to rise especially once inflation begins to set in.

I’m new to the property investing world and have been trying to figure out where to start gaining more knowledge before diving complete in.

The state that I live in is Missouri.

Where I will jump in is specifically related to changes and issues we’ve run into here in the Sacramento area with COVID.

What would be a good (and not excessively expensive) method to make this presentable for tenants to use and spend time in?

@Kelly McJunkinWhat a position for you and your family to be in!

I currently have 5 rentals (2 are cash flowing, 3 are being rehabbed/BRRRR'd), 25k in savings, and a HELOC for 100k.I guess the situation I'm in is either A) I could pay $2,000 for a list and run FB ads for initial marketing or B) save my $2,000 to continue building my reserves in case something happens during the rehab process, so I don't have to dip into my HELOC... but at the same time, if I get a deal from option A, it would likely pay off any initial marketing costs and then some.What would you do?

With your experience and given the current market cycle were in I would be looking for fix and flip types or buy and holds that need work.
