Thanks again I'm sending you some information on a GREAT local team who I am very confident can help you with the labor.

Did you have the right support team?

@Stephanie Cabral@Brandon Rush@Samuel Eddinger - hey CT dream team!

I've been reading a RE investing book for at least the last 2 years and the idea of house hacking finally seems to be the best initial strategy to begin my journey.My background has been in the capital raising/investment banking industry for the last 6 years being a part of tight knit deal teams helping raise over $250M+.Would any local house hacking investors be opposed to doing a 1-1 with me over coffee/tea to obtain your reality and experiences of house hacking both within our market and other markets you participate in?

Avoid extremely distressed areas where ARVs are unpredictable or tenant turnover is high unless you have a deep local team in place.Happy to share experiences and connect.

here's my answer: any market will work if you spend time getting to know it in person and building a team, and no market will work if you don't. 

I feel confident with the team of professionals and mentors that I've connected with in my local area, but could use some advice and/or connections with trustworthy people to help me strategize my overseas plans.

I (at the moment) cannot move past the fact that not being able to put my eyes on the property, see/know the neighborhood, demographics, nuances, just does not set well with me at this current time.For instance you mentioned finding a property for $70k.

The team truly went above and beyond!
