Families rent homes every day in Tulsa, which makes it a great place to start investing. You will need to start out with at least three properties. If you purchase your investment properties in the same area you can manage them easier. You should hire a reliable contractor who will give you discounts for his exclusive skills to maintain all your properties. You will need someone to make minor repairs and paint between tenants.
