What suburbs of dallas would you look into investing that has strong job grow, but prices are not super high.I would Recommend eastern suburbs such as Forney, Mesquite and  Fortworth suburbs such as Saginaw, Haslet, Crowley, Where the prices super low compared to Northern suburbs and rental demand is high in Blue collar neighborhoods.

@Matt Devincenzo you are 100% right to ask because this is a gray area.

I've seen some posts arguing about design and color scheme choices that are in and out of style in rehabs and flips so I figured I would give my first hand advice.

Quote from @Patrick Gray: All, I consider myself a beginner in real estate investing, but savvy in business/finance.

I’m really early into the research phase but would be prepared to “pull the trigger” over the winter (eg purchasing a property to setup the tents) but ran into a bit of a “wall”.I’m pretty close to Blue Ridge and love the area so have considered a STR there for a while.  

Think of this loan as a “bridge” that gets the property from where it is at acquisition to where it will be once you’ve changed the name, painted the cabinets gray, installed some subway tile, and renamed it The Judson at WaterChase or what the **** ever.

First time home buyers compete with us investors and they are often blue-eyed in terms of how much work a property needs.

It shall be an unlawful discriminatory housing practice for any person, or any agent or employee of such person:To refuse to consider as a valid source of income any public assistance, alimony, or child support, awarded by a court, when that source can be verified as to its amount, length of time received, regularity, or receipt because of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, familial status, or handicap;"https://www.ok.gov/OREC/documents/CompleteDiscrimI...It is illegal in Oklahoma to discriminate against an applicant because their income is from public assistance.  

First complaint I have about the system is there smoke and mirror gray and white disclaimers they almost contradict him selves not with the services alone more of the membership payment etc. 

Tenants are typically blue collar and many of them are recently employed by the recent boom in logistics and warehousing that is going on in the area (link below to a video I saw on Twitter that actually calls out Eastern PA warehousing as a desirable investment).There’s definitely a decent amount of investment going on and I’ve seen prices jump even in the past few years so competition is growing as people catch on.https://youtu.be/Yvi4MPHcwj0
