Now in addition to buying a rental in the right part of town (no duh!)

My wife and I will be Scaling up to a bigger home for our family and will rent out our town house.

Long story short, after corporate downsizing, I lost my job and relocated to my home town of Tulsa, OK; and not having knowledge of BP to help me realize what I was about to do may not have been the the best decision, I sold my portion of the company to my partners.

We were out of town on vacation when I wrote this.

I got what many considered a deal here in my town at 320k for a duplex (in a great area with great tenants) spitting out 2k in gross rent.  

All the amenities of a big city, but yet, a small town feel.  

"A" areas are typically in the nicer parts of town, with residents that have higher incomes, and higher rents or property values. 

I just picked up a lead in a college town and I think they are worth looking at. 

A good loan officer will look over your credit, how much down payment you have and find the best loan for you be it Fha, Masshousing or a conventional.Have you picked out any towns you want to look at?

I have a bachelors in architecture and work both construction and as a realtor here in town.
