I recently purchased my home in longscreek 78247 and was thinking of buying a couple houses here or in stone oak to buy and rent or would it be best to buy And flip a handful on the S/Ne/E side.

takes 60 seconds to send e mail..

I also told my agent multiple times that I wasn't going to order the appraisal until the repairs were done (or we at least received the seller's response), yet yesterday he e-mailed my lender to "go ahead and schedule the appraisal" without notifying me first.

much better values in comm r/e these days in just about all areas of Sac and surrounding.
