@Ashley DennisI think people should consider owning real estate personally (tax benefits) and inside of their retirement account. 

So, often times people insulate the attic without insulating the walls because the cost is reasonable and it can make a significant difference. 

@Thomas W. yes lots of people have done that.

This is the problem with people that want to buy properties to Rent and try to make Money without any knowledge. 

Is it quiet or are people hanging out in the street and blasting their music?

People want to be guru coached! 

Lehigh can be very profitable if you have the right people who know the area and the right house.

If you are near break even on the investment, it is still a phenomenal investment, because other people are paying it off.Look at it like your 401K - it isn’t cash flowing either - yet we are dutifully tossing money into it month after month.  

Find some in your area to attend and meet people.

I think one place to consider is Sherman/Denison area.Lots of growth coming that way.It's about 45 minutes north of the main DFW Metroplex, but plenty of people commute and there are plenty of demand drivers there.
