Hello Dallas BP members! I would like to know if you have any recommendations for a broker familiar with the cities in the outskirts of the metropolis (maybe Frisco or Lancaster) to help me find my first duplex, triplex, or quad for my first house hack. 

Side question - I picked those two cities only based on crane watch to find large employer construction. What other methods have you found to be successful to estimate where new jobs will be?

Thank you for reading this! Hope you have a profitable day!

@Andrew Schmidt you absolutely need to connect with @Kenneth McKeown . Hands down one of the top DFW agents for finding multi families and he’s very active here on BP helping people out. 

HI Andrew.  I have been a licensed broker in Frisco for 19 years and have lived in Frisco for 20 years.  I'd be more than happy to help.

Hi Andrew, I've also worked closely with @Kenneth McKeown . He's extremely knowledgeable about multifamily in the dfw area, he's personally an investor and owns a few of them. I have my second home under contract through Kenneth and he has personally given me invaluable investor advise through the relationship in terms of what to look for, where to look for, and the different options I have. 

In terms of sub markets to look at, I'd advise looking city of chambers websites, city websites, commercial office space reports, and business journals. I personally pay for annual subscriptions just to keep up with all Dallas news, ROI on these is so worth it.

Thank you to everyone who replied! To anyone else reading this, apparently the MFH market in the area is pretty tight.
