For those who don't know the market its not a place you want to drive through at night. 

I thought the same thing and scaled up rather quickly to 300 units in deep south 95% section 8 after about 18 months I realized I bought myself a job that was simply not worth it..

It's located 9.5 hours of a rough mountain drive so work would be difficult until spring.  

I have a buddy that's very successful in D Class areas.He drives around all day putting out fires, getting in literal fist fights from time to time, throwing people out of their apartments or changing locks when they leave, constantly breaking the law because they are "civil matters" and he knows the tenants won't come after him, and shaking folks down for late rent.I'm sure folks in A Class areas are doing the same, right?

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.

Sounds like a deep dive into the numbers is what you need.1.

I'm not sure if these high tech salaries will continue, some of them get compensated via RSU (Restricted Stock Units) My suggestions were to house hack (if they're still renting) or within a 2 to 3 hour drive.

The last thing you want is to get elbows deep and run out of capital because then you won't even have an exit strategy or a place for your mom to live.

Greater demand drives a greater price, Econ101 right?

Have you noticed that your social media videos actually drive conversions, or are they just generating views?
