Fort Bend stands out for its strong schools and diverse population, making it a great place for both single-family and multi-family investments.

While this is being promoted as a safe way to get into real estate by some experts or gurus, there is no way to secure your loan with real estate when the money is used as a deposit before the purchase is closed.

I follow a lot of Dave Ramsey groups and listen to him a lot, and this seems to be the approach he promotes.

You may harness possibilities in areas outside of your local area and perhaps obtain superior returns and portfolio diversity by adopting a methodical and strategic approach to out-of-state investment.Good luck!

Is it gaining or losing population.Hi Michael,Thanks for your comment.I see Toledo as quite a diverse city when it comes to employment.From white collar medical to blue collar steal, glass and manufacturing.I'm sure that you can look things up online further and find out all of the stats/demographics about the employment and population, etc...In my opinion it's very easy for someone like myself to paint a pretty picture about the Toledo market and to "smudge" your eyes with booming figures.Something that I don't practice because every market has it's pro's and con's.I will say this though just like I've mentioned to many other investors over the years.Focus on finding the right people first before focusing on the stats/demographics of a particular market.When you work with experienced investors (As in you have "boots on the ground"), they are going to be the ones that will know the micro economics of specific cities or even regions.So, the broad market stats that you can find online will differ to what people on the ground know to be true.Just my 0.02 Aussie cents lolThanks again mate and I wish you much success
