Agree with Wilson, Tracy is not so attractive but feels Modesto area still has charm, one more point to note is ROI will not be in new homes but some possibility in 1980s with some TLC.

If you put down $300k on this new property you’re going to feel pretty bad if you break up and he wants half.

If you need any advice on areas or anything else, feel free to message me.

If you're looking to wholesale feel free to reach out, would love to chat and I'm looking to buy 

Nevertheless, leasing does feel like a waste of my money.

I would say if you don't know the area, you should check the eviction database for that street to see how often evictions occur, you should check crime on neighborhood scout or some other site, and you should drive by the property late at night and see whether you would feel safe getting out of the car.  

I'm looking to purchase a few this year around Fayetteville, Raleigh, and Charlotte so please feel free to shoot me a message 

I have a handyman do a lot of my work but sometimes I don't feel like that actually fixes the real problem and anytime digging is involved people want to charge a fortune.

Feel free to dm me.
