We are super stoked to be here and look forward to everything that BP has to offer…cheers!

@Bob Bowling I'll try to cover your questions in the same order...Worthwhile to me means giving me a return greater than another investment that I can get for equal or even less work.

In no particular order, off the top of my head: landlord-friendly laws, no rent control, population trends, total population in the metro (I won't invest in super small metro areas/towns), unemployment rate trends, vacancy rate trends, income trends, rent trends, economic trends for the metro, weather (as it pertains to potential expenses - i.e., I don't have to worry about clearing snow from a parking lot in Scottsdale AZ), purchase price, expected ROI, how fast you can evict, insurance rates, and property taxes. 

After hours of research, driving to several on my list, bidding on the homes, and being super excited...

Its likely the reason he has so much equity though because they probably help him buy the thing super cheap so he gets to have a nice house.  

Super strong borrowers NOw a days will find better rates etc.Now its customary for Banks ( commercial banks to ask for PG's)  most do .So while I understand it completely in function I am not all that enamored with them as some sort of recovery mechanism to a loan gone bad.

Hi,Just wondering the best tactic for finding fix n flip or wholesale deals in a super hot market like Austin, TX

Is there an HOA that governs the area then you might not get the super obvious distressed house.

Ranging from super nice (point Richmond; Richmond hills) to nice/average (North & East, Annex) to true blue collar/lower end (civic center & SW hoods), and watch out!

It's a duplex and I am super excited!
