Hi Everyone! I am new to the BP community and I am looking to find some connections that can help my husband and myself find our first property for house hacking. We live out of state and know little about Lakeland. I would love if any locals had any wise words of advice. Any areas to completely avoid? Any real estate agents who are investor friendly that you've enjoyed working with? Thanks in advance!
Exciting to hear you’re exploring house hacking in Lakeland! I'm familiar with the area and would be happy to help however I can—whether it’s sharing insights on neighborhoods, tips for out-of-state buyers, or connecting you with local resources. Lakeland has some great opportunities, but like any market, there are areas to research closely.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions—I’m happy to point you in the right direction!
Best of luck to you and your husband on your first investment!
My pleasure to connect. That's very nice area. Feel free to DM I should be able to connect you with an agent that can support you in that area. I'm an investor myself also, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
