Normally when I read south Texas on a post it is referring to San Antonio and the area around it.

Plus if you are talking to people and get listings those are easy money.

My only worry is can buffalo sustain  this growth, and how easy it is to get new renters?  

Right now, your retirement plan most likely has minimal choices to invest in (some stock funds, bonds, ETFs if you are lucky) so you are rather limited in choosing an investment vehicle that will help you reach your goals.From first hand experience, I can tell you that getting a solo 401k was rather easy and I have checks that I write to pay for properties free and clear or to put a down payment if I want to get a loan.

It's not as easy as the sellers say it is.

It's a great town, but I would say an older demographic, more money, more families, more owners/less renters.Manchester is a great option, especially for young professionals - lots to do, restaurants, bars, walking trails, easy access to Hartford and the suburban towns that host lots of farmers markets and outdoor activities. 

You can figure it out by looking at past pro forma, but it is not really that easy to understand how your investment is doing.2.
