@Bryan HarveyJust realize they provide high returns but it’s my understanding your investment is an unsecured loan.

Quote from @Bryan Hartlen: @Jamie Parker are you having trouble getting properties under contract OR assigning the contracts to flippers?  

I'm also from Texas and a realtor here in the Bryan / College Station market. 

I am humbly of the opinion that the Sun Belt is entering a phase of more moderate growth and that the 'Rust Belt of Old' is the next region up to bat. 

Quote from @Bryan Stengel: Hi Kevin, I would encourage you to maybe consider outside of New York in the future. 

On the other hand, Niagara Falls, NY is a part of Buffalo-Niagara area, which is still struggling to find its footing and grow out of the "rust belt" characteristics. 2.

Quote from @Bryan Hartlen: Could be a business decision based on keeping long-term high quality tenants rather than risk the costs on turnover. 

Consider investing as a partner or lender with someone in an area such as the Rust Belt that does produce cash flow - but keep in mind that the long-term trade off will likely be less appreciation for that investment.

I currently own a few properties here in Bryan-College Station, I have a full time sales job so try to stay as passive as possible. 

I agree.. just look at any large mid west or rust belt metro.. there is a ton of houses avaliable the question though will folks buy in certain neighborhoods where inventory is readily avaliable you can buy existing in many of these markets for far less than new builds.. so to me its really a neighborhood issue  a school issue a crime issue etc etc..
