I'm just a blue collar worker and don't have any real background in funds of this nature.

Hey @Zana Blue the two lists wholesalers are always building are motivated sellers list and cash buyers list.  

Beware of any home older than 1990 if this is your plan because 21st will not finance any deal less than $10,000 and most 1980s and older homes will not blue book to the values you need.

My dad and mom were blue collar workers with 5 children, trying to support us, so my dad did flips before "flipping" was even popular.

I think we would like to find blue-collar neighborhoods where home pricing is sub $200k.

Hello everyone,@William Blue and I have few questions and hoping to get some help.1.)

I've been reading a lot to prepare for eventually buying my first single-family home and renting it out.In my area (50k population mostly-blue-collar city with a sizeable college population, ~$40k median income), most of the houses I'm seeing are around $200k. 

I can also only speak to what kind of contracts you need and can use in Texas.If you go to the "Resources" link (in the blue BP menu bar at the top of the screen, you will find "FilePlace".  

It's just your average blue collar working class people.
