Zillow Offers is working to roll out their "awesome" product in OKC in 2020 and, even though scads of individual investors have recognized the value, the hedge funds and institutional money haven't flocked here yet, so we're still seeing great buys in most niches and an overall ability to achieve a good balanced Cashflow/Appreciation strategy.Hoo Rah!

I take the 4 acres U get house free and clear.. long story short they come up with 250k for the 4 acres I deed them the house and give them another 100k cash so now I am in it 250k large with a bare lot.. that I am figuring to hold for a number of years.. well sometime you do the right thing and provenance smiles on you.. 4 months later a big developer is doing a land assemble and needs my 4 acres I sold it to him for 950k cash .. and made 700k on that deal in less than 1 year.. and the lady who would have been homeless now owns her home free and clear and she could also sell to the developer for a big chunk if she so desired.. me I just took my check and put it in the bank.
