If you share your target note type and state, I’ll suggest a first outreach script.

But a couple of thoughts come to mind:1 - An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

How I run it: 1) Pre‑plan with CPA/QI, set target price range and debt to replace. 2) List and sell dogs first, start offering on 5–10 replacements immediately. 3) Identify up to three within 45 days, lock financing aligned to your debt payoff. 4) Verify taxes, insurance, PM, and CapEx; don’t skip inspections. 5) Close within 180 days; if needed, use bridge debt to sync closings.

Ask them:What credit score, debt-to-income, and reserves they like to see for house hacks or multi-family loans.What first-time buyer or local programs exist in your target area.How they treat projected rental income when calculating eligibility.That info gives you a clear goalpost — you’ll know exactly what to fix or build before next year.In the meantime, here is my advice and some actionable steps you can start on now:Pick a target market and study rents, prices, and zoning.

From there, we started underwriting everything with the same filter: does this deal move us closer to our target cash flow or equity growth number?

If you need one who is familiar with house hack investing in your target area(s), click here and BP will recommend one.You may already be doing this with your existing investment properties but for house hacking, I'd recommend having clear house rules related to visitors, vehicles, quiet hours, apartment walkthrough access, etc.All the best to you and your family during the transition!

I Try to target turn key properties <225k since i am out of state and work full time.

Many investors I know have found great deals there by targeting streets with active rehabs and owner-occupied homes nearby, since appreciation potential is strong as redevelopment spreads east.

@Christopher Tinelli there is no "magic" source.You'll want to implement plans for 3-5 target sources and keep with them for at least 3 months. 

If you stay in school, engineer ROI by targeting internships with active developers, picking courses that sharpen contracts, zoning, and negotiations, and building a sponsor network; if you don’t see a clear path to paid reps within 6–12 months, consider pausing and going full‑time into an apprenticeship.
