Hello again Dallas BP!
Does anyone know any real estate lawyers in the DFW area with experience in short term rental contracts/insurance? I'd like to cross all my t's before speaking with potential clients.
Thanks for reading!

@Ronald Rohde, I am also currently looking to build a mutually beneficial relationship with an investment-savvy attorney in the DFW area. For now I have insurance questions with regards to subletting rentals from owners. Do you have experience in this area? Thank you for your time.

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

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!

Congrats! Yeah, Killeen was on my list, too, for a while. Good luck with the Midwest!

@Aaron Gordy I guess I was wondering how to find properties being sold with alternate financing. I won't be able to use a conventional loan for another few months at least, but I do have funds to play with atm. Is it a question of finding the right RE broker who knows sellers that accept alternate financing?

Where would one find opportunities like that?

@Bob Norton I will definitely factor that in. Thanks for the tip!
