However, the suitability of buying and renting out a single-family home in Richmond can depend on various factors, such as market trends, rental demand, and property values (similar case with all markets, really.)Chatting with a local agent in the area can provide very helpful insights into the market, data, and specific neighborhoods.

Our lot is fenced in and we cannot see where he lives but close enough to be of concern, but we want to stay in the same town until the kids are finished school.So, my question is this, would it make sense to rent our home (roughly $2300-2500/mo. as per real-estate agent claims), with the stipulation that the garage is used for my business AND buy a home nearby?

However, as an agent in all of this you need to disclose on the front end that you are an agent. 1.

If you don't already have an investor friendly agent in this area go to the top of the page and click on AGENTS and go from there.. or maybe chat with someone here in this area of Fort Worth. 

However, I am an investor and agent here in Minnesota.

If it were me, I would reach out to other franchisees in your area (perhaps your Development Agent might have some insight...see...I know the Subway lingo and I've done Subways in my banking days).

Will get overseas Federal housing or BAH around $30,000 tax free per year. 

I would love to hear from those who have actually invested in these areas vs. realtors/real estate agents.  

@Sam McCormack is a great agent there that helps plenty of investors. 

Connect with local wholesalers and investor friendly agents and provide your criteria to start receiving deal flow.
