Youve chosen a great city to want to move to!

I've chosen to invest in Texas because Census say it's the fastest growing state (https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/) and a lot of companies are moving there.My question is, if you were me, would you:1) fly to Texas, get to know the city, then visit again to inspect rehab work? 

I need to keep looking for one that actually wants to perform the duties of their chosen profession.  

I'd like to know more about why those areas were chosen and to get a little insight into the mind of this real estate "flipper."

If you had chosen to just flip the Contract to someone else "as is" (no repairs) for no other profit margin, you still would have kept that $200K that would have been spent on renovations, no fuss, no foul, it's your money.In month 14 after you have spent a lot of time and $200K on repairs, the owner gets drunk and plows his car into someone else and is found liable for killing someone. $2 million judgment against him. 

Very happy my deceased had chosen an alternative process!

As a recent college engineering grad who formerly had only been exposed to the typical American life (piling on as much debt as possible in hopes of keeping up with the Joneses), you guys have really got the gears turning in my head and have opened a new way of thinking for me.After recently obtaining a good paying job, I almost made the mistake of buying a new truck and taking on some of the other bad debt that comes with most college grads; instead, I have chosen to put my eggs in the real estate basket.

The reason I have chosen to start with 2-4 units is because they qualify for FHA loans and I do want to house hack through this process as well so I would be living in a unit for at least a year (meeting the limitations of the fha loan), getting to know the tenants coming in to occupy other units and understanding exactly how it is to live in the property to be able to provide the best quality of life for the tenants.

I don’t really want to put the branding of my chosen brokerage, or my broker license number or anything like that on my website, business cards, lead pages, Facebook ads, printed mail marketing, etc.

And, among the apostles, the chosen, there was a tax collector.
