Flip or Rent near Groves, TX

Hey everyone. My name is Ed Andrews. In about two months I will be separating from the military and moving to Groves, TX.

I am not from the area but have visited multiple times before. Some of the designs in certain neighborhoods are bit strange to me but they seem like good houses.

That being said, when I move there I want to make my first investment purchase but I’m not sure if it would be best to flip or rent in this area.

Is there anyone who is familiar with the area or surrounding areas that has some advise?

Thanks for your time,

-Ed
