Looking at Arlington
I'm still new to the Dallas/Forth Worth area and still learning about the market. Does anyone know how Arlington flip opportunity would be compare to north Dallas area such as Plano or Frisco. The prices are still lower but not sure if there will be a long holding period.
I'm also looking to partner with a local realtors, if any one interested please message me.
Thank you!

If it's a good flip and the numbers work, it doesn't really matter where it is as long as there is demand for housing. But keep in mind that your ability to flip it and resell quickly depends on many factors, including the type and quality of the rehab you do, the school district, the neighborhood and the street the house is on, the neighbors themselves and what condition their houses are in, whether the house is what people are looking for etc, etc. For example, a 4 bed, 2.5 bath house on a nice street in Arlington will sell faster than a 3 bed, 1 bath house on a less desirable street in Plano even if it has a good rehab. Lots of factors to consider, just make sure you get to know the neighborhood. If you're unsure, find a realtor to help you and let them know you'll use them when you finally sell the flip.
Good luck!
