I stay away from them these days and just wholesale.

I have been told to stay away from lease options in Texas.

If you’re thinking of branching out, cities like Austin or San Antonio are worth considering, but staying local has its perks too.

I am focused on building capital at the moment since it wouldn't be a primary residence for me, so I want to stay under $300K.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

Are you looking to stay in the city? 

I like to stay in the working class areas as they make enough to pay the rent and bills, but don't have the financial discipline to save enough to purchase their own home. 

Stay hyper local.As for investing in Illinois: Get your head examined.

👋As real estate investors, staying ahead of the curve often means thinking outside the box.

Businesses are “living” organisms with a life of their own, usually having deep meaning to their owners.
