I will say, as a programmer, I built my own system that was comparable (better in some ways, not so much in others) in many ways to Dan's, but I didn't have online access to the Upset Bid sheets and that was a significant factor in my using his service.

I recently purchased 2 rentals in this side of town and I haven't had any negative encounters so far, but I'm still testing the area to see how it goes.

I would appreciate any pointers and instruction on how to get financial backing/investors with out being a W2 earner.I am excited to see all of the discussions, interaction, and help that this community is built upon.

@Stephen Chaney Check with the town office / city hall  (code enforcement, zoning, etc) to see if what you want to do would be a permitted use.

People come from every state to see their Airman graduate, and they fill hotels all across the town.

Will definitely look into turnkeys with built-in property managers. 

I only have two properties so far, one in Texas and one in Louisiana, so I can't really compare to the rest of the country yet (I haven't looked into that), but my smaller property in North Louisiana is 1000 sq/ft, built in 1972, pretty much a complete rehab by previous owner, not in a flood zone, is appraised at 78k and the insurance is $612 a year.

I work downtown im out of town for a few weeks but would love to grab coffee and chat once i get back!

Enterprise seems like the town to buy around Rucker.
