I recently had an applicant who supposedly had their identity stolen. They had a low credit score but beyond that, they were a solid applicant based on their application and references. I ran a background check throug...

Mine are all in Grand Prairie, Arlington and Fort Worth in C+ class hoods.

Maybe we can come up with something that actually makes a difference.No promises, no grand plans (yet).

I just went through a tenant turn over and it went pretty well.Now my grand plan. 

Couple that with the lack of home building post GR and that's made a 1+1 combo equal 5.also in last 60 days, there're bunch of SFR funds liquidating their houses unsure why, but this month the top secret narrative that everyone already know is we are in GFC 2008 situation in CRE fantasy-land ; so it seems lot of funds in trouble and there're lot of redemption request from investors, maybe it's forced selling of the good performance asset to help recover the bad asset. 2024 is extremely interesting Jason, there're lot of factors that keep driving the dynamic of single family, and it's not employment per-se.  

Along with their Team I meet their contractor I meet the title company and let them know how I do my deals I meet the realtors that are going to resell them.. after 50 years of doing this I get a pretty good gut feel like you said but we do make booboos.. but its usual we did not get all our interest or we lost a few grand no big deal..

Repeat this strategy every couple years.If you really don't want to buy a primary residence and instead you want to buy an investment property then I would recommend a new build in Casa Grande for under $300k, this will require a 25% down payment and buying the rate down a little to break even on cash flow, but will be a very easy first rental property as it will be brand new and will not require any cap ex for many years and by the time it does require cap ex you will have raised the rent and gained enough equity to do a cash out refinance.

We are located in The Rio Grande Valley, Deep South in Texas.

There are tons of land flipping courses out there (buy low, sell high, make a few grand).

It's in Grand Rapids, MI for reference.
