If it were me, I would try to find out who is further down the list and see if I could buy their spot from them.

Killeen and Harker Heights do have some good spots and various multifamily options.

I believe Travis' ranking is spot on and how I would rank them.

“Josh, I feel you on this one—it’s a tough spot to be in, but let me tell you, these situations are where the real players in this game prove their mettle.

In the process of trying to find a property manager right now, but perhaps those will be good spots to find one.  

  $900 seems to be the sweet spot right now and most of those cost 45-55K including fix-up.With all that said, I'm positive I spend money on the properties in ways that most landlords at these price points do not. 

And some of these left HML in a tight spot borrowers could not access their draw money.. this happened just recently to Fund that Flip.. and their borrowers I know i got a call from one of them that was owed 300k in draws that was not coming.I can understand that rates aren't what they are when you close as when you get quoted, but if you offer a "rate lock" and use that term, you need to stick to it even if you aren't required by law to do so.

You’re spot on about both FHA 203k and Fannie Mae HomeStyle loans being great tools for renovation projects.

And being near garden of the gods that I a great spot for an STR.

I’m starting to dabble in real estate investing and a local agent told me this is a great spot to network and learn.
