You're tempting me to write a bot to do this...

Nope, just a BP employee browsing the forums on my day off.

You can always report posts for self promotion outside of Classifieds. Our moderators actually do a pretty good job of removing these and banning repeat offenders.

I think the bigger problem is that folks who are new to BP don't know that this rule goes both ways: you're not allowed to solicit outside of the Classifieds either. So you can report that too.

@Bernard Barbour you can now also tag your posts with "Augusta, Georgia". Here's the list of posts with that tag: here.

@Bernard Barbour you can post your events to the Events and Meetup forum.

I checked two neighborhoods with areavibes and it is not at all accurate. Highland Park, Texas is ranked 69. This is a inburb of Dallas with $10m+ homes.

Neat idea!

Sadly, I don't know anything about the Denison market. I think it does make a ton of sense to look around DFW than right inside DFW.

And yes, I would try a few different tools to get a rent estimate, not just Zillow:

Neighborhood Scout has pretty good info on what returns look like for specific markets.

Don't try to time the market. When/if rate cuts happen, everyone is going to be jumping into something else, all at the same time.

If it makes sense at 100-130k down payment on a 200k-ish property, does that same logic work for 50-75k down payment? With that strategy you're keeping more in reserve and earning interest and possibly seeing appreciation.

STRs are banned in Dallas.
