@Jennie W. - Thank you for your reply to this thread! Yeah my wife went to Baylor and we've been looking for rental properties there - but not for students - for people that work at the hospital and school. What we've found are a lot of slum lord type properties that were kept barely livable presumably to rent to students. Any experience with higher end SFR rentals in Waco?

@Pete Harper - Are you focused on multifams only for Waco? I've heard it's a tough market for that in Waco since students are the main customers and like you said - very competitive.

Would love to keep chatting about all this...

Any folks having any luck investing in Waco, TX?

Also, has anyone had any good experiences with wholesalers that focus on Waco?

Would love to link up with other folks seeing upside in Waco.

Cheers!

@Greg Junge - interesting. I agree according to most of the deals I've analyzed. I have found some potential in Mesa interestingly. I've been looking in different markets too - what other states are you looking at? Thank you!

Hey all! A couple of work friends and I decided to partner up on some real estate in the Phoenix area. We are looking for multifamily properties. Are any of you having any luck? How are the lenders and contractors out there? Also, anyone finding rockstar real estate agents that know how to find those distressed properties? I've never tried the wholesalers - anyone have luck with them?

Thank you and looking forward to meeting some of you Phoenicians!

Cheers!
Blake
