Getting ready to buy in Texas...

[Justin Brophy]

Hello all,

I've done quite a bit of research, reading, and networking in regards to my first purchase.  I was originally leaning towards Las Vegas but have now decided it will be Texas or possibly Oklahoma.  I am looking for some input from investors in these states and any information or experiences would be appreciated. 

I am looking for a rental property, I will spend between around 115k-125k max, 3br/2ba (Not looking to do much rehab).  My criteria is a property with a decent cash flow and hopefully consistent appreciation.  I have been researching and hearing great things about the Dallas Fort Worth area.  Any investors have anymore areas specifically? 

Also, I will most likely be making a trip out to the area in a couple months to do my in person research on the different areas/neighborhoods and view the different properties.  Anybody with realtors who may be willing to show me around in Dallas Fort Worth or OKC when I make the trip?  Thanks in advance for your input.
