My husband is a realtor but not a super active one.

Super new and super motivated!

My advice is for you to develop a super strong relationships with the best lenders in town and stick to them like glue.

You have to do the math for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years to see how much you will earn.There was just a recent post where the owner was making a $430 per month positive cash flow and was calculating the cash-on-cash and not the appreciation while the property increased and he earned almost 1300% on his investment plus his positive cash flow.If you can afford the property, afford to make the repairs and the property appreciates by even 3% per year it is most-likely a super good deal in today's market.I just sold about 24 homes in Las Vegas and the home inspectors are so full of b.s it made me sick.

Super responsive and helpful with ideas on what loan programs are best for your situation. 

The Bay Area crew is super helpful, don't hesitate to reach out to anyone. 

Jason super awesome work.

I am not super familiar with where you are at down there by the coast - but I know there are some areas with good returns a little West of Fort Worth.

A positive is that the house has a super cute vintage feel to it with good curb appeal.

Think rust belt to sun belt (a super cycle), think east/west coast high company costs looking to relocate to Dallas to reduce employee costs and be close to key strategic transportation routes (DFW, interstates) linking coast to coast in a few hours.The long term trend of more renters has a lot of legs left (millennials, boomers), cost of a house is going up as well as higher rates so that will continue to keep people renting as well.
