Hi Dana, wanted to see if you had feedback on your experience with this particular search and which if any platform you had success with.

Unless it has something to do with ad views I don’t see how it would hurt to have two separate forums, i bet it would help increase activity.

I don't think it's a great strategy if you are just getting started.If you have the financial stability and experience to take on negative cash flow betting on the high appreciation then I think there isn't a problem with this strategy at all. 

As far as choosing a neighborhood - your best bet is to find a good investor-friendly realtor who can help you.

You can looking them up on the biggerpockets platform.

Hi Cannen,Great to see other young aspiring people on this platform!

I bet most realtors would tell you that it adds value too...whether for a sale or rental perspective....And have you heard the new dishwashers?

. :-)I'm willing to bet that the real GCs in Texas are every bit as good as in Cali.

BiggerPockets is an amazing platform and inspired me further to dive into long-term rental idea.

Since the population in these states is relatively small, many lenders avoid them.Face-to-face at local real estate clubs, found through Meetup, are your best bet.
