If you want to be taken seriously I'd start saving for your first investment opportunity, maybe pick up OT or a second job to show you have skin in the game.

There are plenty of varying job opportunities in the real estate industry.Ask yourself: What skills do you have?

It could be a nice opportunity however I would be certain they will want you to make up the difference between $250,000 and whatever is left on the mortgage which btw in my opinion should be done with lender's knowledge and approval. 

This could be an opportunity to share what you've learned.

This could be your last opportunity to join at this special rate—don’t miss out and kick off 2025 the right way!

.- Someone talked about crime and hard tenants (who don't pay - usually inherited ones)- not many economic opportunities to attract pool of people and boost area etcI'm looking at houses on both sides (Canada and USA) US, they are cheaper like 731 Pine Ave, Niagara FAlls NY 14301 going for $270,000 (5/2, 2700sq ft) but on Can side, it's like houses are in the US$400K - smaller sq ft.

To me the value in diversification is that it helps nudge you to look for other opportunities and revenue streams where you might otherwise just be content to stay in your lane and then you'd never find anything new. 

A slightly higher upfront cost in a better area will likely yield better tenants and less hassle over time.Investing in McKinney is a great decision, but working with someone local who understands the nuances of the DFW market can help you identify the best opportunities.

I'm not saying this is one, but don't miss out on a good opportunity based on arbitrary numbers.
