Thanx guys! I am going from 20 years of Healthcare Security to truck driving but my income will at least double. I have some credit card debt and I owe 83K on the house I have now. I will keep the house I have now because of my CDL I want to keep my Idaho residence. I have been looking at a few places in TX and have found a lot of very nice houses for under 100K. I'm hoping to save enough for at least 50% down so maybe the bank will finance the rest. I'm also thinking of buying real estate in ND. People are renting rooms for 1000 to 1200 a month. I have found a few trailers for 75k and less that I'm going to look into to make some quick cash. Either way I'm going to buy something somewhere and stop working for "the man" in a few years. lol

Hello everyone this is my first post and I am a newbie to real estate. My question is this-I will be working in ND in the oil boom. I want to eventually move to TX and own properties there. I will not have time to deal with any of the things that can come up with rental property. Should I hire a rental agency to handle the property? The only other alternative I can see is saving money to buy properties years from now but that would mean the prices would be up and I wouldn't get what I could get now.
