Navigating the market of Stillwater, Oklahoma

[Cody Cummins]

Dear fellow Okies and Pokes,

I am a sophomore at Oklahoma State University and I major in Nutritional Sciences. I am a self-supporting student looking for ways to get more money into my pocket for financial stability. Therefore, I have been thinking about investing in real-estate. I just need some direction. Does anyone have any tips to guide me through the market in Stillwater, Oklahoma? What are some good neighborhoods I could look into? Last but not least, does anyone have any recommendations for hard money loan companies in Oklahoma? 

If you are near the Stillwater, Edmond, or Oklahoma City area, I would love to connect with you! 

Thank you,

Cody Cummins

Hi @Cody Cummins!  Welcome back to the forums, and "howdy" from down the road is OKC!  

Great work funding your way through school and growing knowledge in real estate investing!  I know a few Hard Money guys in the OKC metro, but man I would always recommend against HM if medium money or soft money is an option.  HM lenders of late (read the last 3-6 years) are bloated in their rates, meanwhile many banks and private investors are chomping at the bit to get decent returns and play the real estate game.  Ultimately I find that there is a better skill to be developed with these sources of funding that keeps the deals coming :)
