@Joe Splitrock The ability to do more deals also diversifies my investments, and more doors means when a vacancy occurs it isn't as harsh on the bottom line.

Though it will depend on your ability to get along with the outside company.

Look at rent growth, population growth, job growth, affordability, and other metrics to choose your market.

It will make you think bigger and plan for more growth, which is what you want to do from the start.

It has been so instrumental in my investing journey, and in my growth as a real estate agent.

I thought it would be beneficial to learn even more, plus gain the ability to tour houses and make offers without a middle-man... if I can make some money on the side helping other buy/sell, that's a bonus too.

How long do you think it will be before a state senator up for a reelection drafts a bill mandating working HVACs and repairs w/i 24hours? 

Like rents, job growth, population growth.

College Station is a great area, I graduated from Texas A&M a year ago and there is always so much growth there.

due on sale although an option as many will say does not happen often.. but if your seller knows that there is that risk and THEY can clear the mortgage if called with cash then your fine because they cant refi because you own and or the person you sold it to owns it..so at what length will they go to save their credit that's the issue.. but doing all the deals your doing I am sure you don't want to put a seller in a bad place.. these are great when they work but if they get tangled up and you don't have 285k in cash or the ability to refi your end buyer as you state probably does not.. so that's the risk.. its the sellers risk 100%
