Homes are affordable and rents are relatively high...

Frank if the deal and area is good and you can afford a higher down payment you might look at a 4 unit quad instead of a duplex.With a duplex if one unit goes vacant you have 50% occupancy.

Message me.never know how we can be of service to each others efforts

The Sheriff has an office there too for service.

I like the fact that the area is affordable and shows signs of growth.

Now its time to really get started.My overall goals are to build sustainable wealth with real estate while providing a service to the general population in the form of property recycling (bring properties back to usable form for the public) and buy and hold rentals (providing solid housing for people and families).As far as progress, my wife and I are currently in our first house hack - living in, refurb, plan to rent.

If you can't afford that kind of outlay now I would actually just go ahead and rent it out until you can afford to do it right.

Beltline development mixed with affordability made it grow so much.

The service isn't evil or bad in any way, it's just niche.

Given that the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS is the best resource to use.
