If you're just holding a single property, many start with online services like LegalZoom or IncFile, which are affordable and user-friendly.

Housing affordability is definitely a hot topic in Texas these days.

I really just went off the fact that property was super affordable and it was very clearly obvious to me that Joshua Tree could only grow and become more developed because of the beautiful park and proximity to LA/Palm Springs.

If you're looking for affordable options with good cash flow, I’d suggest checking out the Midwest market. 

If the continuing maintenance and repairs are more than you can afford and make the property cash-flow negative, I would sell and hope that the repairs I made and the appreciation would earn me some profit.

Where I’m at, if you list on Zillow, and you are priced right, you should be flooded with applicants for an affordable property… but the ‘flood’ decreases as your price point moves up.  

If so you should have a somewhat good understanding of what neighborhoods do and don’t have potential, start with the best neighborhood you can afford find the worst property in that neighborhood, that way you know you’re buying in a place where the economy is at least relatively stable and appreciation will be more likely!

I am an attorney for affordable housing developments throughout the country.

I can afford taking a loss on it in the short term, but am looking to refinance the property in the next 5 years when interest come down, however im at 5% rn so i would have to get closer to 3% for the cash flow to be better.
