Ask yourself if spending several hours each week on your rental properties fits in your current lifestyle or future desired lifestyle. 

The Lubbock market is a little slow right now due to overbuilding of new multifamily so you want to make sure that you buy in desirable areas or you may be waiting a long time to get your property rented (or worse, get bad tenants).

That is a huge weight off my shoulders. 

Define your investment goals, including target market, desired cash flow, investment timeline, and risk tolerance.

Thanks Its a similar concept to Weighted Average Least Term (WALT) you want to know 95% of "what" a 95% occupancy of all 10x10s still isn't meaningful if those last units are crap locations and won't ever be rented

I’m an real estate investor who is looking  to achieve the success I desire and fulfill my  dreams through house flipping.

An account with robust online banking features and a user-friendly mobile app is highly desirable.4.

I am not a fan for increasing density in highly desirable areas just because people want to live there. 

I don't think in this market I would be putting much weight into the 1% rule.

You will surely need them for any sizable project like this....and that will drive up the cost....As far as flipping in a small town, you can make money anywhere, it just depends on the desirability of the area.
