A little background on the area: it is in a smaller East Texas town that has a great school district that attracts a lot of families.

There are still some on the East side that are affordable right now.

He has 2 surviving kin, one of which is institutionalized, and I'm fairly certain his (middle aged) daughter will want to sell.What makes this a possibly great opportunity is the fact that he was the first owner of the home, built in the late 50s early 60s, and owns the property free and clear!

I am working towards becoming a license real estate agent in Michigan, I should be license by the middle of December, but the end goal is investing.  

East side you're gonna have a really hard time getting those rents, period.
