@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.

With your background in real estate and property management, you’ve got a strong foundation for success in fix-and-flips and buy-and-holds.

Make sure the lender you choose has a strong background in this type of lending...check them out on Linked In to see their experience level.

Here's what I would do:Option 1- Talk to the lender to make sure that the buyer is strong.

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks in advance;)

I want to create a strong marketing plan before taking that step to help me achieve my goal of earning $50k in commissions.I’m hoping this group can help me with a few questions:1.

In markets where affordability and cash flow are tough, focusing on stable, long-term rental markets with strong resident demand can make all the difference.It’s completely understandable to feel cautious after missing opportunities in the past, but real estate has always been about timing and strategy.

Personally I think there are good loans out there but people look for the "perfect" loan that fits their buy box and meets a desired return - which the return is going to be based on risk.So for many you cannot have your cake and eat it too. thoughts?

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

Many of these areas also benefit from both rising home values and increasing rents.Ultimately, successful investing comes down to selecting a growing market, a strong neighborhood, and building a reliable team to support you.
