Lubbock Texas Rental Properties

[Silas B.]

I am out of state and we are looking to get a single family home as a long term rental investment property and I was curious if the demand for rent was high currently, if single family homes were better vs duplexes, and any recommendations for lenders, agents, handymen, management companies, and any other useful information such as good locations of the city (I have been looking at the crime maps lately and it seems the western side of the city has less crime for what its worth). I see homes around 120K and possible rent is around 1200 - 1400 for a decent sized 3 bed 2 bath 1300 to 1500 sft home. Any advice is reallyappreciated!!

I sink all my investment dollars into SFHs and very small (class b or better) multi family units.  All in Lubbock.  Lubbock is a great place to invest given a strong rental market and great appreciation.
