We’re located in Westchester County, NY, and our goal is to eventually get approved for more so we can purchase a house to house-hack (ideally a small multi-family).

As for Philadelphia, where I am from, you’re going to face older housing stock, more regulatory complexity, and neighborhood-by-neighborhood variability, manageable, but not ideal when starting out.Once you build equity and confidence, you can diversify into other markets.

@Michael Santeusanio What's you ideal rehab costs to acquisition cost percentage?

If I had to choose, I’d lean toward appreciation and long-term stability over maximum cash flow, but ideally I’d find a combination of both.For lifestyle reasons, I’d love to be as close to Scottsdale as possible.

Ideally, I'd like to hold and cashflow the property, but I don't have the money for the rehab. 

Not sure what software but ideally would like to use a total of 2-3 softwares so im not all over the place.I feel like im at least slightly knowledgeable with this, but I'm just lost on how to go about it all and get started with the proper steps and software.I would really appreciate it if anyone who's currently successful in the industry could give me some pointers on:the most efficient software to usethe proper order to go about all this, if there even is a proper order?

They are an ideal fit for Cooperative Assignments.• In the “fast” markets, strong demand and tight inventory are fueling appreciation.

@Jaycee Greene Any markets/cities that project good IRR (ideally cash flow too).
