It's no different than any other deal using other people's money (private money, hard money, etc) which I would imagine falls under this category you do not endorse.I've bought many things with credit (cards or loans, all the same to me) and flipped them for double or triple what they cost me.

The city's growing number of people and its economy might also help raise home values and the cost to rent.Start by looking at your equity, research the rental market in Lubbock, check out properties with tools like BiggerPockets rent calculator, talk to local pros, look into money options, and choose if you want to run the place yourself or get a company to do it.
