OKC long term investments experience and recommendations

[Ming Huang]

Hi BP, 

I am looking to invest the OKC market long term hold real estate.  Does anyone had experience in the area?  I want to know more about the area and build a team that can help me purchase and manage properties.   Which neighborhood or zip code to look at or avoid?  

These are the three zipcode that I am eyeing on right now : 73128, 73170 and 73135(I think this is near the AFB).  Any recommendations, pls send in my way.  Thank you all.

Hi @Ming Huang

Welcome to BiggerPockets! It’s great to hear that you’re looking to invest in the OKC market—it’s such a fantastic area with strong long-term potential. I love that you’re already narrowing down specific zip codes and doing your due diligence.

I’ve heard good things about 73170 and 73135, especially with the proximity to Tinker Air Force Base, which tends to attract stable tenants. Neighborhoods near major employers like the AFB often provide reliable rental demand, which is a great foundation for a long-term hold strategy. 

When it comes to building a team, having a strong property manager and real estate agent who really know the OKC market can make a huge difference, especially if you’re out of state. Have you already started connecting with any local professionals, or are you still searching?

If you’d like, I’d be happy to chat more or help brainstorm strategies for finding the right resources and team members. Wishing you the best as you navigate your journey—I’m confident you’ll make great progress!
