Sherman, and Denison are growing a lot due to the Texas Instrument chip plant being built there.

(Unlike the popular belief many hosts have, it is not even 5 star rated properties or crazy place with $10,000 oak front door) That is why I like the STR game.

Duplexes and multifamily are an option as well, although the dynamics are a little different.If I was still living in BR, I'd househack somewhere in Mid City - capital heights, hundred oaks, poets corner, overpass, etc.

I'm realtor for Magnolia Realty (we're owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines) and I work with quite a bit of investors on helping them buy and sell properties! 

My passion for real estate has been a lifelong journey, and I’m thrilled to channel that enthusiasm into helping others find their perfect home.When I’m not busy with real estate, you can find me skydive diving, hitting the gym, capturing moments through photography, or enjoying long walks and runs with my dog, Chip.

Just start chipping away.  

Then comes Chip and Joanna Gaines and their hit show "Fixer Upper".

Looking into MTR in Thousand Oaks at the moment.

Like CAL Pines out of Alturas  that one was being pitched by one of the Chips actors on infomercials and they bought all their inventory at the yearly tax sale.

In the only building I have bought that had tile there was a lot of cracking and chips due to seasonal foundation shifts and the chipping due to tenant damage.
