Information Overload, House Hack or OOS Investing?
Hey Bigger Pocketeers!
Brief intro, I've been listening to bigger pockets for a couple months now and have been diving head first into learning everything I can about buy/hold strategies.
I'm a bit overwhelmed with all that I've been reading and wanted some advice on what you might do in my situation. I got pre-approved for a loan (Yay the first step) and was originally thinking of house hacking in the bay area, specifically in Oakland, San Leandro, East Bay but it's so expensive and maybe I haven't calculated enough deals yet but it's hard to make the numbers work when all these properties are 500k+
So I was wondering if it was worth doing a house hack here, or just purchasing investments out of state. I was thinking Dallas, ATL, Portland.
Would love to hear your thoughts and if anyone local wants to meet up for coffee or drinks I'd love to connect.
