Your comment made me preform the necessary due diligence I should have done in the first place.

Just a general comment - based on the location you described, I wouldn't put $60k into a single family home in that neighborhood to flip - even if you got the property for free.  

Thank you whoever read and thought of dropping his comments.

While I wait to find the right opportunity in TX, I am under contract on a really large deal, 550+ units in Georgia that is 2 miles from a 240 unit deal that I own.Coming back to the above, the comments above in my opinion are a bit broad, but I am sure helpful to you as you probably weren't aware of these potential issues.Now that you are educated, you can use the next month to find the right deal that works for you. 

And I have nothing to add to your comment!  

I agree with several of the other commentators that buying a multi-family property in a high density military area (Oceanside, Bario Logan, etc) would be a great start for you.
