Glad to hear you are deciding to pursue Real Estate Investing here in Amarillo.

Do you have a trusty contractor who can possibly go with you just to help assess repair costs in one visit so no one wastes time pursuing something that may not have potential?

That's the type of real estate investing I have decided to pursue, I understand there are others and that I should not rule anything out but one thing I have learned in my career is, if you focus on one particular thing, you become and expert at it. p.s. sorry in advance if my introduction is wordy.
