Those were very good areas a couple of years ago when people were less aware of Ocala but it's gained in popularity so it's become tougher to make the numbers work, but there are still deals to be had, especially for rentals.

I would only place it on DeFi if you're fully aware of the risks, or as a smaller fraction of the CeFi.

We are not aware of any price increase so far.We will inform you in advance if there are any changes."

I own 4 two/three flats bought between 2013 and 2020 in Forest Park, Illinois, at low interest rates and prices in 200000's  They cash flow nicely and prices have increased a lot. 

Recognize there are challenges doing BRRRRs since the rate increases that have occurred in the last couple years

Also something to note, I live in the North Fort Worth area and be aware that there is some school district drama brewing in Keller ISD that covers much of 76244 and 76248.

It’s worth considering the trade-offs between the stability of income and the increased oversight and hoops you'll have to jump through.

There are a lot of ways to crash and burn, so increasing the odds of succeeding long term should be your highest priority. you can always sell your local assets once you're comfortable managing rentals and ready for a market that better-suits your criteria. btw, kudos for being self-aware of your limitations.

@Jeff G. not aware of that, but sure it's available for a price from Fair Isaac Co or one of the credit repositories.
