Everything should be convenient to living at home, like Doctors, Hospitals, Shopping, Supermarkest, Restaurants, the Bank etc.

I’ve been looking toward other markets, but the convenience of being able to invest in a local area is still something I would like to do if the numbers can work. 

It is in a convenient location, close to many restaurants, business centers, highway, downtown, airport, hospitals, seaworld, zoo, etc. 

I understand that the market is rough right now and I need to be patient, but I'm struggling with that.I'm looking at this location purely for convenience sake to my place of work.

Investors buying turnkey properties have to give up a good portion of that cash flow in trade for the convenience of not going through all that effort and work, that is where your profits come in and again, I stated I have no problem with that business model.Lastly, my being a moderator is irrelevant to this conversation or my comments, I made no personal attacks against you (otherwise I would have had to moderate myself) and havevhe right to voice my opinion just as any other member does, so you have every right to be disappointed if you choose, but don't tell me my comments are correct McAllen for, to the contrary, my comments are appreciated by just about everybody here. 

For the record, I don’t get anything for this referral, they have just done a good convenient job for me and some clients and by far the best price.

With rising interest rates, it makes more sense to just acquire and keep financing that to refinance for the convenience of having one loan.Once a property is paid off in this style of loan can I individually sell that property or do I have to sell the entire portfolio?

They are areas with high concentrations of educated people, convenient geolocation, and lower rents and real estate prices than your tier 1 cities.

They have crushed their financial future gambling on future results.

An informed gamble along with aggressive advertising is usually your best bet in avoiding long vacancies in these neighborhoods.
