My only experience is that I owned a townhouse  rental 10 yrs ago and sold it a year later in 2005 when I saw some topping signs and did well.My partner and I are both medical professionals and we both have great credit.

We are living in interesting times around here with the creation of The University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley, New Medical School, and Space X coming to the Rio Grande Valley.

It never hurts to establish a relationships before you get a deal under contract.

Are they a well established organization?

I have been focused on growing my medical practice for the past 3 years since moving to Texas and I recently became sole owner of my (debt-free) practice.I'm now planning to invest the profits from my medical practice into income-generating real estate around the central Texas area.  

I walk into the kitchen, and a lady was in there, she went pale white in the face, she totally fell backwards and collapsed on to the kitchen floor hitting the stove and shelving.Not only did I scare her, she had a medical condition.

Hello BP Team,I am currently working  on establishing a partnership with a person who i know for a long time.

I'n from Compton as well looking to work with motivated individuals in the city, and establish relationships through social media. 

As long as the media keeps pumping "high" unemployment and "declining" population, we will be able to have a field day with no competition and very undervalued deals.At the end of the day wherever you're looking to invest make sure that you have established trust and relationships with key people on ground that will always have your best interests at heart.Don't become another foreign investor succumbing to shady operators here in the US.Thanks and have a great day.

You may lose on the profits but you share risk's and benefit from the connections of someone already established.
