Quote from @Virginia Frost: I'm always looking for a good opportunity but honestly my next purchase will probably be something that I don't have to do a total overhaul on.

Hello I picked up a deal just outside of 1604 near San Antonio that I believe is great opportunity.

Hello Preston,Thanks for the advice and valuable website.

@Gil CanfuWith a $300k price range, you're definitely in a good position to find some solid investment opportunities in the North Texas market.

For those who are running successful Section 8 businesses out-of-state, did you start in just 1 state or if the opportunity made sense would you purchase the property regardless of the state?

Through my experience, I’ve cultivated a conservative approach that balances opportunity with risk management that I apply to every deal that crosses my desk.

There are a lot of opportunities in areas outside of the city too.
