For that to happen Oklahoma would need a major boost to its economy – like a major corporation bring 1000’s of jobs.

Adding a twist to this, depending on where you purchase, you could turn your rentals into short-term or executive/traveling nurse rentals to boost the income...provided your willing to self manage.

They are popping up all over the place nowadays and while it may take a little time, you may be able to find some great leads through them.For what it's worth, I also agree with the previous comments; developing a relationship with your clients will definitely boost your probability of success.

Im sure many of us have read all the warnings and reviews of buying low price properties, and the problems typically associated with them, but all that considered, it is what first attracts a lot of people , indeed this is the only path available to some, its a start, so lets explore whats real and possible.........lets use Detroit, Cleveland, Michigan and Indianapolis as examples where possible ,and set a ceiling of $30kPersonally i dont see the return on higher priced properties attractive enough to invest $80 to $120k plus, and before anyone starts preaching about the pitfalls, ive done this before, over 30 properties over 20 years, just in another country, low cost houses in deprived areas, i know what can go wrong.The first attraction here is the low cost, funding with personal loans and credit cards etc,  is possible, and with high returns , quickly repaid, whereas a large mortgage is on your credit file for years, and has to impact further borrowing, and cannot easily be cleared temporarily in the same way credit cards can, if your credit needs a boost !
