Do you believe in first securing a contract or making a list of buyers. I feel like this can either make or break you when wholesaleing as a beginner.
Hello BiggerPockets community! I'm relatively new to the Texas tax-deed investment market and recently purchased two properties through a Dallas County tax foreclosure auction. Both Sheriff's Deeds were officially recorded on October 16, 2026. My question is: Can an investor legally resell a prop...
Hey everyone! I'm curious to hear what strategies you're implementing to make your listings stand out from the competition. I have several properties sitting on the market with little to no showing activity, feedback, or buyer interest. I understand the market is challenging right now, but homes ...
Hey everyone! I'm pretty new here and looking to officially jump into mobile home investing, mainly focused around the Dallas area (or anywhere in Texas really). I’ve been diving into the research side of things, but I’d love to connect with anyone who’s actively doing deals out here. Still learn...
Has anyone used VAs (virtual assistants) for help with managing properties and tenants? If so, has this been effective with improving efficiency, tenant satisfaction, and overall business operations?
Most investors I hear from want DSCR 1.25 with 20% down, so that's the bar for this one. In the city of Dallas today (Nov 5), 43 of the 3,577 homes for sale I could price clear it (4,417 listed). That's about 1 in 83. Put more down and it opens up a little: 66 clear 1.25 at 25% down, 89 at 30%. W...
One thing I’ve learned about evaluating rental properties is that the numbers can look great on paper, but unexpected repairs can quickly change the picture. A roof that needs replacing, an aging HVAC system, plumbing issues, or even a repair you didn’t discover during the initial inspection can ...
I have a property in north DFW area that should have a good STR potential as its on a big piece of land. I am exploring the options of turning it into an STR. Can a co-host help me setup the property for STR as in make it STR-ready? Thanks, again.

The deal is as follows : purchase 100k , reno expenses 45k, comps coming in on the lowest 195 k , high 235k. Property was a 2/1.25 another in...
Hey everyone, I’m Alex! I’m a wholesaler focused on the DFW market, and I’d love to meet more people in real estate. Whether you’re a wholesaler, buyer, seller, or investor, I’m always interested in hearing what you’re working on and how you got started. I’d love to build relationships where we c...

I’ve noticed something interesting about real estate investing. We’re constantly encouraged to grow. Buy your first rental, then your second, then your fifth. Reinvest your profits, leverage your equity, and keep expanding. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Growth is how many investors build s...
So I purchased a double lot just outside of Abilene Texas. Which has a data center being built and after that a solar/energy farm going in. Abilene itself has been a growing market but since the data center started its construction five months ago I have been getting constant offers to purchase m...
Over the past few months working with real estate investors and wholesalers, I've noticed a recurring challenge when it comes to off-market lead generation—specifically with tax-delinquent property lists. Many investors pull raw county records, spend money on direct mail, and end up with disappoi...
I've used prop stream and property radar but finding some challenges in counties surrounding Dallas. I'm looking for the best paid online service, not looking to go to the courthouse/recorders office. Any suggestions please.
I’m being relocated to the Dallas area for work while my family remains in North Carolina for the next couple of years. I’m purchasing a new-construction, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home and plan to house hack it by renting out the extra bedrooms. All the bedrooms are upstairs, along wit...
Hello! I'm a wholesaker and I'm looking to get into my first investment property. Anyone that has house hacked I'd love to talk to you! I have so many questions.
I'm 19 and live in the Longview area of Texas. I've been listening to bigger pockets for a little over a year now and really want to get into real estate. Currently doing a flip right now with a few friends whose mom is our hard money lender. So I've at least got my foot in the door. But I'm plan...
I'm a 3 month real estate rookie, but I feel I have a fair amount of theoretical knowledge, and its time to take some actions. I have a duplex house hack on the horizon, but I know its not an avenue I can use in the short term to leverage growing my portfolio. So I have plan of using a constructi...
I’ve noticed that a lot of conversations about getting started in real estate focus on saving for a down payment, finding the right property, and eventually becoming a landlord. Those are certainly worthwhile paths, but I’ve also been interested in how people approach real estate investing withou...
Does anyone have experience with trying to refinance a new construction property that was built as a 2 unit but split into two separate 1 unit attached properties? We are trying to refinance these as two separate DSCR cash out refinances that will close simultaneously and payoff the construction ...
Starting my build to rent journey in the DFW area. I am currently building two duplexes side by side. One for an investor and one that i plan to hold myself as a long term rental. I am working through the full process of land acquisition, construction management, and building a repeatable system ...
Hey everyone, I’m Alex. I’m focused on wholesaling, vacant land, and renovating older properties in the DFW area. I want to make sure I handle contracts correctly from the start. Is it feasible to put together my own purchase and assignment agreements using reliable Texas-specific templates, or w...
Do you really need to buy a house to start investing in real estate? Something I’ve noticed from conversations about real estate is how often people associate investing with buying a property, finding tenants, and becoming a landlord. And understandably so. That’s the traditional approach many of...
Expanding your fix-and-flip business into a brand-new market sounds like the ultimate scaling move, but jumping boundaries too early destroys profit margins. 🗺️ While distant markets promise shiny deal flow, true operational leverage comes from maximizing density within a single target footprint....
