Best approach to find listings in Dallas Metro/Frisco
Hi all,
I am a former college athlete who worked hard to live frugally and save as much money as possible during my playing years from my scholarship checks.
I'm looking to buy an investment property in the Frisco area to rent and let appreciate as my first investment. I've searched around Redfin, Zillow, realtor, and other agent websites but was wondering what source shows the most listings and would be best to find a deal on a SFH that fits my interest.
In less words... where should I begin my search?
Anything helps and would love to connect and learn!

Sherry isn't wrong. Zillow has gotten pretty good about getting properties out and updating the status of the homes, but it still isn't 100% accurate. The MLS is the only place that can give you a live update in real time.
A lot of people don't use the MLS access to its full use like Sherry said by adding notes, favorites, etc. so if you do it would be a great advantage.
Best part is Agents are paid by the Seller unless you find an off market property that isn't on the MLS. Free resources essentially for professional advice, MLS access, and the tools you need to succeed.
