Look for areas with good schools and low crime, then narrow in on specific neighborhoods.

My kids have the opportunity to attend a great school so we're moving.I think there's an opportunity here to get creative.

." --- What is holding you back, I can already tell you that buy and hold is probably the best bet for you (I can already tell you don't want another job flipping, short-term rentals, old-school landlord, etc.), but why haven't you figured this out on your own yet? 

@Grant Schroeder and I both went to school at GFU and Grant has quite a few investment properties in Newberg.

This property is part of my real estate school of hard knocks tuition.

I'm planning on house-hacking properties I can add value to, and taking out more loans using my equity to scale my portfolio.My fun fact is, post high school I spent three years traveling the country and visited 22 states.

well having done this for years and years I can tell you people in foreclosure are not going to do this. they wont understand it.. they are in distress . they are not investors.. the main goal for most is to stay in the home as their kids are usually in a school etc.Safest way is to buy it straight up they leave you pay them whatever you agree to for equity and your both down the road.

I'm also a real estate investor and high school business teacher so working with young people is what I love to do!

This money (property tax revenue) is utilized to fund essential resources and public services for Texas citizens, including public schools, libraries, emergency services, road maintenance, and community safety measures.If property tax reform occurred, this would likely result in redistributing the tax burden by implementing state income tax or introducing higher sales tax rates to make up this shortfall.
