Its more of a Blue Collar community, although few do the daily commute to Chicago for work.

Hi BP Community,I'm in need in finding a reputable builder in Rock Port,TX area.

Hello BP community!  

We heard that a credit union or community bank is more likely to work with investors as they are more flexible.

Hi all, I'm new to the BiggerPockets community. 

OMG/SMH...I am so embarrassed that I feel obligated to share my vulnerability with the BP community...Quick story - I just burned $200 on fire (figuratively) on my first day of my first flip.

I had the best of all worlds, I got to live in a decent community, I got the appreciation rates of the SFR phoenix market, I lived rent free and essentially only paid for utilities, and I got to live and hang out with my friends who I know are going to take care of the place. 

I"m just thankful for the Bigger pockets community  the members on here are very helpful and i"m and GRATEFUL for all of it !!

Additionally, this property is close to the airport so there is a lot of potential to turn it into an airbnb hub, leading to more cashflow and of course, more management/cleaning time.Long story short, would you take a deal with these parameters:- Asking price $165,000 (pre-MLS price) - Duplex consists of: 1 bedroom main floor and basement unit & 1 bedroom upstairs unit- Total rent: $1600/month (tenants pay utilities)Addendum: I just bought my first property with 11% down (before I found BP), so any suggestions (or links to forum posts/blog posts/podcasts) on creative ways to finance this deal, please let me know.Thanks BP community.

One of the problems is that it is surrounded by a couple of lower income communities.
