Please share your recommendations for a great siding contractors for the Tacoma, WA area.

House hacking makes so much sense.What areas in Indianapolis are you considering? 

How about if you live in the area where there are some sub 100k properties.

@Leopoldine Gayap if you're going to invest in Columbus, OH area, connect with @Remington Lyman

In those areas where these are separate entities, such as Southern California, you must be careful.  

A handyman in New York would likely be more affordable than a contractor.

I'm very active in the area in various capacities.

I have a solid plan but no money and I'm not willing to gamble on a first bad deal putting my family on the street. Where can I find local investors that want to make tons of money?

Many investors are shifting their strategy a bit — either targeting smaller multifamily properties, secondary markets just outside the big metro areas, or projects that need light rehab to force some equity and improve rents.It can also help to work directly with agents who specialize in investment properties, not just retail listings, or to tap into off-market options like wholesalers and local REI groups.

I found a great deal that cash flows in the Brookside Park neighborhood but am concerned about crime and appreciation in this area.
