Hey Jordan! Lets connect. I definitely think I can help you find what your looking for.

Rates are making deals a bit tighter We're having to run our numbers tighter and in turn not as many deals make sense. 

Congrats !

Tulsa, Oklahoma is a city on the rise, and the real estate market here is full of potential. Tulsa offers a fantastic combination of affordable housing, a growing job market, and a strong sense of community. The city's economic development initiatives have been attracting businesses and professionals, creating opportunities for real estate investment. I personally own a handful of rentals here and while it is a bit harder to find those cashflowing deals - they are there! Not as saturated as other markets.

Hey Kinnari 

If you are still interested in OKC let me know. I would love to be assistance. 

Quote from @Malak Lopez:

How do you find and evaluate Section 8 investment opportunities in Tulsa? I'm barely considering my second house, just bought the first in Jenks school district 10 months ago. I'm looking to rent out this house and find new opportunities, but only have about $30k free for this next investment.

Congrats on your first home! For Section 8 opportunities in Tulsa, start by researching areas with high rental demand and good rental yields. Use tools like Zillow, Rentometer, and local real estate listings to compare prices and rents. Network with local investors and property managers experienced in Section 8. My team can also assist you if you're interested. With $30k, consider leveraging financing options. Good luck!

Hey there!

It sounds like you've done your homework on what to look for in an investment market, which is fantastic. Since you're considering markets like Cleveland, Columbus, Birmingham, and Memphis, have you thought about exploring opportunities closer to home in the Oklahoma City/Tulsa area? Both cities have been experiencing growth and are considered favorable for real estate investors.

When narrowing down your options, it might be helpful to create a scoring system based on your criteria. Assign weights to each criterion based on its importance to you, such as job growth being more critical than seasonal issues. Then, score each market based on how well it meets these criteria. This can help you objectively compare different markets and make a more informed decision.

Also, networking with local real estate professionals or joining investor groups in your target markets can provide valuable insights and help you gain a better understanding of each market's nuances.
