This constantly gets my name out there and now I’ve got people approaching me about moving into my units on a regular basis.

The owner has lost several people’s money. 

I have very few people, to bounce ideas with.

As an investor myself, I usually enjoy helping a new investor get started, but I sure don't do it for the huge profits.Meanwhile, in my service area, there's something like 127 different municipalities, and every damn one of them wants $100-150/year just to register as a contractor, before we even get to permit fees.

any tips or local people, would love to connect, thanks!!

A lot of people are drawn to the guaranteed rent money but I found it comes at a significant cost and I did not think it was worth it.

I know there are risk involved like market down turn, not selling for ARV, higher than expected renovation cost, etc, but I'm really worried about people just taking the money and running away with it.

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.

I've really enjoyed working with you and look forward to more deals in the future.

I haven't looked into that much just because I don't think I would enjoy being in the same living space as strangers.
