Thoughts on Rentals and Flips in Cleburne, TX

[Account Closed]

Has anyone found success in the markets just south of Fort Worth like Cleburne? We have found buyers for the area, and realtors are suggesting that it's a hidden gem with everyone moving further away from the city, but it's new still.

Properties just outside of town usually have good square footage (1,500-3,000sf) and land (around an acre), while homes in-town are usually small 6,000-10,000sf lots and house sizes are the typical 1,000-1,500sf.

The rental inventory is extremely low and seems to be a great strategy, but flipping houses seems to be something that is taking off as well. Any thoughts/experience from an investor's point of view?

I've had good success in Cleburn flipping houses. They seem to sell as fast as they do in Arlington. Also Alvarado. Demand is very high there for both rental's and resales.
