Since you’re committed to staying close to family, I’d suggest focusing on properties that might need a little work but have potential for appreciation in your market.

Hey @Patrick Drury thats a great insight, thank you and will look into the areas you have suggested.

I suppose my question on this is: Is her simple statement (which came in a text, btw) to me of "I'm moving out," enough for me to take this kind of action?

I know that you are house hacking, but I would suggest investing in other states.

I suggest a neutral tone when you send your letter and hope for the best.

Do you have any suggestions on how to go about this?

I'm seeing a bit of data from Insurance.com and NerdWallet that suggests Oklahoma has the worst insurance prices in the nation.

If you want to know what I coach or my program, a simple Google search will provide the information.

Here is my simple Top 5:1.Review the market – Understand the trends and conditions in the area.2.Analyze the property and the numbers – Ensure the deal makes financial sense.3.Visit the property – There’s no substitute for seeing it firsthand.4.Meet the team – Whether it’s your property manager, builder, or contractor, relationships matter.5.Complete inspections and appraisals – These protect you from costly surprises.If all these boxes are checked and the numbers work for your goals, then it’s likely a solid deal.

The “methodology” the guru presents either isn’t all that profitable, isn’t as simple to enact as he suggests, and or works only with certain limits as to economic climate, geographical area, etc.2.
