@Destiny PrinceLow prices, affordable, lots of renters, diverse economy.

I'm not opposed to Single Family Rentals, but looking to optimize economies of scale. 

If they file bankruptcy, depending on the chapter, they could be paid in full. if there is one dime in equity over the balance of the senior, they can't strip the lien and we aren't in the economy to where there wouldn't be equity above senior lien balance in most cases.

Not to mention the loss of jobs with the robot built houses and the less maintenance needed on a concrete house.I feel there will be a large governmental resistance to them because of what they are going to do to the economy but the cat is out of the Bag.

How is the underlying economy? 

The economy is growing, companies are hiring, and the housing market is hot, with this suburban enclave spreading farther into the Mojave Desert.But the recovery has been uneven.Although the Las Vegas area is booming, the middle class is still getting squeezed.Steady growth across the country has lifted the stock market and corporate profits.

in a tight market this is a tough gig.. and being a licensed agent that puts the same time effort and money into just getting retail listings will do far better than most wholesalers that spend a ton for each deal.. and have to constantly be marketing.. there is no real referral advantage to a wholesaler.. they beat up a seller.. the buyer your only as good as the deals you bring so they kick you to the curb.. and use you... where as setting yourself up in the business opens up many doors and avenues that you can work in all economies..

I'm just not sure that it has huge growth potential and the economic outlook is sluggish.

Think the government is hoping the investors will be a net positive to the economy and help with the recover... time will tell if that works or not.

The area is ripe for development due to Houston's economy.
