@Kevin Hubbs Congrats on your first deal! You have taken an enormous first step that many people only talk about. Thanks for sharing the numbers and what didn't go so well. Its important to share the pro's, as well as the con's so other investors, can learn from your experience. I've heard good things about Key Renter in the Tulsa area as well, so that's for sharing that. 

Are you starting to look for your next deal yet or will you wait until you refinance?
