Many of these towns have seen rents rise due to oil and wind farm work, but i tend to lean to the longer term tenants who are typically teachers, local government and police@David Song  As the OP, it seems that you are now talking about out of state investing and not necessarily sub $50k properties. 

My mechanic just bought a house there and one my friend's who's a teacher.

I am married to a school teacher who also makes around $50,000.

I learned a lot and networked and actually met some decent investors and good teachers etc but what upset me were these companies who pretended to have turnkey homes were in fact wholesalers.

I think you are correct and hold me to this I will start some thing with either the boys or girls club here or a good friend of mine who is a teacher.

This is Apple we are talking about, biggest tech co. in the world.They say I will kick you out from Cupertino if you don't want to move to Austin LOL tech recession is here.Sorry, not to be the nerd in front row correcting the teacher but, Apple is #4, not 1. 

There's no better teacher at first then fumbling about and failing.   

Heck you are an architect teacher.

Lots of long time locals (service industry folks, ski instructors, teachers, outdoor enthusiasts, etc) are being pushed out because long-time rentals are being sold & many people are moving up from wealthier areas like San Francisco and buying up properties that seem like a “deal” when compared to the Bay Area — deal in quotes because the median house price has increased by ~70% over the past year here.I have started thinking about the idea of building a tiny home village where the homes are tiny houses on wheels / chassis, and providing them at a reasonable rent.
