Where to buy and hold in north Dallas with kids.

[Zachary D.]

After being laid off, I discovered that I would need to be in the Plano/Irving area of north Dallas, Texas enable to be closer to technology jobs. But, I have zero sense of which areas are safe and walkable.

I would like to target a good area that my family will be safe in that is also below 250k.

Garland, Texas looks okay on the surface, but I’m hoping to get some strong suggestions from the community.

Being 20-30 minutes from the area would be acceptable.

I will be looking for opportunities to 203k loan my growing family into a clean home to be rented out in the future.

Any ideas?

Thank you in and advance!
