@Richard Sherman Ya I'm ":old fashioned" too and Id prefer to be able to easily access my property if I need to.

Questionsi would like to purchase down the line preferably next Summer ( April - July), as i understand they would be appreciation based wealth building properties and not typical cash flow properties.- What areas could i look for SFH ~1500 sqft around $100-110/sqft- I know its expanding towards ANNA until Sherman, how is the rental market over thereany suggestions on these would be great, thank you.

I forgot to mention that if they speak spanish it would be preferred,  not a deal breaker, though.  

I was just telling someone I work with today how much I prefer lending sometimes ... 

This is the niche/strategy that I am focusing on.

[You likely won't want those, but, look for your niche!]

Is that a personal preference or is there strategy behind it based on your experience?

Do you prefer questions sent directly or make a forum question?

We've written some more specific articles on our blog about some niche investment areas.
