I spent a year in Fort Sill, and I don't think I could name one redeeming quality about Lawton other than houses are cheap.

Quote from @Allante Loper: Hi everyone My name is Allante Loper based in Michigan.

My name is Eli and I’m interested in doing fix/flip and BRRR’s I’m glad to be apart of this amazing community and can’t wait to connected with other like minded individuals! 

I have met some of my partners at meet ups, best contractors, scored deals, raised money for deals, you name it. 

If your concern is liability, what I did was get an umbrella insurance policy on the properties I house hacked under my name.

I won't name that company, but I will highly recommend mylandtrustee above ^.One huge perk of Land Trusts and part of the reason we used them for the JV BRRRRs was that ownership percentages could be changed through the project by reaching out to the trustee and doing some straightforward documentation.  

You can also put the last name(s) of the tenants on each mailbox.

You should consider: appreciation, can you get reliable property management there, crime area, etc to name a few.

you simply start making the payments, and the mortgage stays in the seller's name.

Here's some real examples (with changed names / locations of the posters) to illustrate my point:"Oh, I lived there 10 years ago" - Fred in Topeka;   yup, irrelevant to the current real estate market."
