Hello everyone, I am a full time worker in Dallas, TX very interested in starting a landlord journey as my wife and I had inadvertently did it in the past in 2015-2018 via house hacking in a single family home with a spare bedroom and trusted friend who was a good tenant. We had sold the property to real estate flippers while gaining 35% equity out of the sale. My wife and I are on course to restart the journey in the middle of 2020 after renting for a year and a half and pushing our budget to 60% savings. Looking forward to discuss strategies and learn from the well of knowledge this great forum has with the education and community established. 

Welcome to Biggerpockets!! Nice to meet you! Good luck going forward! I live in Dallas area too. I am sorta house hacking with a family member. Hope the best for you. Check out BRRRR strategy.
