Hello all,Very envious of of the low-priced houses in all these US cities.

So I'm a new investor in the Oklahoma City area but I live in Fort Worth Texas so my info on Okc is limited.

Fred Trump "lent" the Donald two things1- $58 million in cash, as an inheritance2- His signature as co signer on a loan, when Fred was the largest residential landlord in NYC.So if your dad gives you $58 million ($300 million in today's dollars) and is willing to co sign your loans, and is the largest residential property owner in the largest city in the country, then yes, don't listen to the naysayers, just "present yourself well" and you'll be all set.

But can city prevent this somehow?
