If the market tanks you can renegotiate or walk away.After the collapse when the market is flooded with cheap inventory is a fantastic time to do subject to and seller financing, rent them out, and wait for prices to rise again.

I reside in Houston, but I have boots on ground in Memphis, TN and Shreveport, LA.Wishing you all a fantastic day and overall career in RE investing!!

I was originally ok with both renting it selling and now I feel like this could be a either a fantastic middle ground, or a hole I know nothing about and could fall into.I am DEFINITELY willing to look I to podcasts and books as well if you have any ideas of where to go :)

The idea of sending a thank you note after going to an open house is a fantastic idea, because I am currently trying to get an internship for an agent/broker so it will give me more connections with the agents.

@Michael Joseph Allen II You’re doing fantastic!

The end result looks fantastic and if nothing else is worth the learning experience and the beautiful images you can use for marketing future deals. 

that's why in the old days working in smoky bars was bad.I used to go watch Monday night football at a cigar bar and had to take my cloths off in the garage before coming in the house.. 

I am from southeast Kansas/southwest missouri are by the way, so it would be fantastic if I could find a mentor or lendor in my area.
