I think the market has a lot of potential for growth overall though and the people are friendly and welcoming and I feel happy about doing business in OKC so I would say if you find a multi-family deal where the numbers work then go for it but just do your research.

Instead of thinking everyone is n00bs, think of everyone as a potential partnership or source of marketing so that you can help them with the things you are great at, renovation, etc and they can find you the deal that you keep trying to find.

I'm currently just researching short-term rentals with hopes of jumping in the market within the next year or so.

First, you will be living there, so I think it should be a place that you want to live.

@Samara Huntley thank you so much for your response.

(nice to meet you.)what i can help with is determining how your property might perform as a rental. so let's do that.as you probably know, you need to factor in much more than mortgage / PITI. so:will you self-manage, or hire a PM? 

I currently don't have a team out there, just have been researching the area as a whole so far.

So you’ll owe taxes on any amount you sell over $68k minus capex.

some of my agents would just use magnets so they could put them on and take them off. 

Thank you so much for your answer.
