We actually just had several go in on Livingston ave on the west side where I'd not normally think would be desirable, but they look great and really brought the block up.So I'm a huge fan personally from seeing them go up in my own area.  

The properties in OK, which are roughly 30-40% smaller than my personal residence are only about $400-$600 cheaper than my FL insurance.

You need to make sure you're working with someone whose sending you personalized deal flow that actually meets your buying criteria.

@David To In Texas there is a way of using tenant personal property to pay past rent.

For example is a personal loan from a bank is 7.5 % that you could use as a down payment (after its seasoned), and your 401k loan is 4.5% but the 401k is expected to return 7.5% per year the money you save on one end you miss out on the other end basically and if your 401k returns are 20%, then you lose out significantly. 2.

Hi Ivan,Agreed,  very intelligent person.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

If a person wants a different outcome, they usually do something different.

Would love feedback from anyone with personal investing and/or property management experience in these cities.

I would personally roll the dice on the rental and see where it gets me if you don't have to sell at this moment.
