., I'm in Beaumont down the road, and while I do wholesaling and flips right now, several in my investment group who are mainly buy and holds have said that 580 is the new 680 especially since Harvey.

We have had around a month of supply for a while now.

I don't mind leaving, but I need the funds since that's one of the main reasons why my family decided to live in rent control housing for protection. 

But it's only about 5 miles from the local water supply, where you can fill a 500 gal tank up with just a few quarters. 

Also those suburban metro stations are surrounded by lots of parking so they are mainly for people driving in from somewhere else, not so much for people on foot.On the plus side, they are affordable compared to other parts inside the beltway.

I don’t know the specific areas as I have’nt researched this area but I’ve seen it mainly in Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, and Centerton.

Currently I’m in search of my first property which I plan to house hack, ideally in the Central Maine area.

@Dan Krupa I'm looking at pulling equity out of my main residence and we should have +$150k.
