Before you make an offer, work out what the monthly payment actually looks like at this price level.

If you are weighing a purchase against continuing to rent, the rent vs buy calculator accounts for transaction costs on both ends.
Investing in Deer Park
For rental investors, the questions here are rent-to-price ratio, the property tax burden, insurance cost, and the depth of the tenant pool at this population size.

Verify short-term rental rules with the municipality before assuming any STR strategy will be permitted.
