Hello! I am a first time investor looking to buy houses in Sherman and/or Denison. I've been looking online and have found a couple smaller houses for sale and would love to connect with some agents and contractors who are knowledgable about the area, rent rates, repair costs and property taxes. I am hoping to purchase two houses to start my real estate journey and would greatly appreciate making relationships.

Thank you in advance! 

Hi! I've saved up $100k and am looking to invest the money in real estate. I currently live in Los Angeles and am not so excited to invest nearby because of the high prices and unfavorable laws towards land lords. Additionally, if I were to invest in Southern California, I most likely would not be able to afford anything in a safer community. Thus, I am debating whether to invest out of state or keep saving up.

I have some family in Boise, Idaho and have heard great things about the growing community. I was thinking to invest in a multifamily property, like a duplex or triplex in the $500-600k price range. For those familiar with this market, is this a normal price to expect? I've done some quick searches on Zillow and this seems to be relatively realistic. What are some things I need to know going forward? Thank you all!
