You should be able to buy and hold or fix & flip depending on your preference.

Lots of lenders are needing 20% minimum, preferably 25% down, and the rate will vary with your credit, debt ratio, etc.

Which do you prefer to do more?

I actually prefer to call my flips "Charms", as I put my time, heart, and soul into the projects.  

I don't think my strategy was to be my own gentrification machine; more important to me was that I bought houses in the geographic area I thought had the best long-term outlook, combined with ease of self-management and homes that fit my preferred tenant base.

Justin my issue is I prefer the old list of topics I can glance through and see if any interest me.

How can I find out more about upcoming infrastructure projects in North DallasWhich of the following towns would you recommend I buy my next property - do let me know your rationale: Anna, Van Alstyne, Howe, Sherman, Denison, Gunter, Pilot Point, Tioga, Collinsville, Whitesboro, Sanger, Valley View, Gainsville.Also, would you prefer Wylie, Lavon instead of towns north of I-380?

If I was an OOS investor I would prefer the rental market in Lexington.
