As the title says, I am looking to buy a house hack in the New Bedford area in the near future.  I've been running into a sticking point when looking at properties, which is the fact that I don't know what the good/sa...

The property requires a lot of work.

You could also go onto Facebook Groups and see what kind of activity there is.Chances are there is some demand.

Interesting report on the state of the market in Tampa!

You had to drop everything to go and see the house, and if you hesitated even slightly, someone else swooped in and bought it – sometimes even sight unseen.That kind of intensity pushed a lot of buyers to the sidelines.

In a nutshell: As of 06/2025 out of state investors cannot manage their own property and have to use a licensed broker to manage the property. 

I have, but have a trusted family member who walked through them and I did a video tour of them. 

But I want to maximize the potential of my next property.

Need to be aware of timing.

A couple of books that helped me when starting out were The Millionaire Real Estate Investorand Landlording on Autopilot.
