I'm looking to retire or semi-retire in the Wilmington area.

I want to try mailing to a zip code on the edge of town in a semi-rural area to avoid the dense competition, but dont know how to go about researching which zip code would be the best bang for my buck.

(THE STORY)The HO Purchased a home 10 years ago for 88K, 2 Years ago (after watching Flip this House) it was semi-gutted in prep for a rehab BEFORE getting an appraisal to refi to fund the rehab. tisk. tisk.

- Proximity to our main (and public) location ... 10 mins drive away - Affordability- Existing Improvements & Layout (structures w/ concrete flooring, electric, water well, laydown yard, barbed wire fencing)- Semi-Private location (this will not be a business site where our customers will visit) It's tough for me to get over the environmental concerns of the Junkyard next door. 

The real estate agents I have talked to claim young professionals have been eating Clayton up because it is one of the only places semi close to downtown that still has a price point they can reasonably afford.

need to find a seller finance deal... most likely the only folks that are going to do this for you are those that sell in semi to full blown ghetto areas  or areas that have little to no demand and they are just waiting for someone to take the property off their hands any way they can

I'm new to real estate investing and have a need to build a team of qualified and dependable talent to work with on residential property flips in San Antonio. I currently work full-time in a position that requires me ...

I would raise the rents, and continue raising them (quarterly, semi-annually?)

My ideal situation would be to construct a home for my growing family to live in for 3-4 years and sell once we leave San Antonio (job that requires semi-often relocations).

Perhaps this is just a semi-standard rent-to-own agreement, but it's the first time I've come across such a deal.
