Jose,I think the El Paso market is very strong.

I also do contract for deed, low closing costs but I strongly suggest you close a CFD at an attorneys office (gives feeling of official and legal,,, which it is).Have a written contract for performance, quartlerly inspections and penalties if no work or poor quality.The summary is:  these rarely work out.

The architectural style of the house makes it challenging to put gutters around the front roofline  due to some overhangs ( 2 on each side of the house that goes straight out in a rectangular shape like an inverted U shape but with sharp straight corners and there’s 1 middle overhang that’s like an inverted V shape that is also attached to the roofline and come straight out of the front so  rain water will come from those as the overhang covers a portion of the front and will kind of serve as an extension of the roofline.

The city is vibrant with good job growth, and there is a strong rental market and short-term airbnb does well there, and lots of smaller multi-families with good bones.

@Anne @Anne Smith California has very strong tenant laws making it difficult to evict tenants.

Wholesaling doesn't fit my personality style, but considering youre in Mobile, look up Jared Irby.
