Buy & Hold or House Hack- North Dallas v South Dallas

Rodney Suggs

Hi!

My name is Rodney Suggs, I recently graduated college and moved to Frisco, Texas to work as a Software Engineer in the financial technology industry. I am looking to buy my first investment property early next year(in about 3-4 months).

I have mainly been looking at the north Dallas market because of the nicer areas but have been told south Dallas would be able to give me cheaper options and greater cash flow. 

I want to see what the pros/cons are for both sides of Dallas, advice from people who own properties in these areas, suggestions on any other areas, etc. I would like to house hack for a year preferably in north Dallas. But I am open to hearing advice and suggestions since I am very new to real estate investing.

I don't invest in Dallas, but my advice would be to find a house hack where you can eliminate your monthly living expenses to zero. Where ever you do that you are doing well
