I also recently updated in a student housing value add and a Marriot hotel in Ga. all through CrowdStreet.

Hi, I recently bought a free-and-clear house at the local tax auction for $25K, When I claimed it, the former owner had left everything in place and it needed a cleanout.

I moved from Florida to start investing in Columbus because of the same reason.https://www.zillow.com/learn/hottest-housing-markets-2024/

For example, when pha slaps you with a surprise inspection cause their system "forgot" to send a letter and then issues a 24 hr repair notice cause one outlet in the house does not work but they send that notice an hour before they come to reinspect lol, a $7k course is not going to have prepared you how to get an electrician the same day.

The first way is build a team large enough to do it all in house, now you have a crew lead who can go estimate time and materials to get jobs done. 

Buy a little value add investment house or plex. 

I started my first house hack when I was 24.

I'll preface by stating I am a complete newbie to real estate, however I have followed BP for about 10 years now.Option #1: House hacking I am currently unemployed, but have a chunk of savings for a downpayment (roughly 50k) if I decide to go the route of house hacking.

BTW the house is on a crawlspace, not encapsulated but not soaking wet either. 

However, the house is under an LLC.
