Hi Mark,

We're currently looking at a duplex in Carrollton. 

Should definitely talk soon!

@Lucia Rushton might be able to help?

I totally understand Benesha!

Before diving into all these books, I think you should figure out what you want to do.

People want to wholesale, fix and flip, rent, or a combination of the three.

Once you find that out, you can look into how to get those leads, then how to manage those leads into clients, and finally close on the deal. Unless you're using a real estate agent, then you can focus on the task you're really good at and save a lot of time.

If you're JUST getting started, I really recommend the book below because it really talks about how Real Estate Investing can change your life and why rich people are rich. It was eye-opening for me. It also contains step by step for investing in multifamily and apartments.

ABC's of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy - Rich Dad Poor Dad

Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!

Yessir. I'm still trying organizing my marketing funnel to see what works and what doesn't.

I'll update once I get some results, as I don't want to give you any assumptions.

I've joined some investors groups and meetups for networking and started conversations with people here in Dallas so far.

I got into RE as an agent and recently made the jump to BP in efforts to start investing.

Dallas has been growing well with new headquarters, divisions, and data centers are being built while older corporations are re-leasing or developing on new grounds. 

Lots of job growth going on, in return population and economic growth follows.

Areas around universities and the areas surrounding the prominent neighborhoods are great areas. Otherwise, just need to find that motivated seller to create an awesome deal!

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!

You have to be careful and calculate the rehab costs correctly more than anything. And if you’re looking at mls or realtor.com, you’ll get market price where you won’t make much, if any. 

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Always happy to chat about real estate.

Hi @Caleb Pulliam!

Welcome to the DFW area! I moved back from Boston because it was so cold and decided to become an agent because our market was so hot, haha.

I grew up here in the DFW area (all over, not just Dallas or Fort Worth). 
I live here in the North Dallas Area.

And I'd love to help you with any questions or concerns that you may have as I'm also working to become an investor from an agent. I always look forward to talking about real estate investing - markets, strategies, insights, and etc.

I'd be happy to take you to some of the local spots here, so hit me up when you're ready!

Cheers,

Anthony

@Lucia Rushton hits on the market trends on point.

1. To answer a bit further, the DFW market will not cease to grow as we have too many corporation headquarters, divisions, data centers, and re-leasing happening that will only increase the population and economy. 

Houston is also a great market but you need to know which cities to go. Until recently, Houston had a greater GDP than the Dallas Metroplex.

2. Don't go to the high tax areas unless the rents make sense.

3. That's the bread and butter for real estate agents. I'll let you consult an agent of your choice ;)

4. Austin, but again, you must know which areas to go. San Antonio is great and Midland/Odessa is one of the fastest growing cities still.

5. I'm personally working on transitioning to become an investor, so I can't speak for myself. I've seen lots of fix and flips, have yet to meet a wholesaler, but I know they're out there, and of course there's rentals. I have a few friends that are doing Airbnb and they're doing well with that too.

Hope that helps! 

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or need references for any particular city.

Cheers,

Anthony

Hi @Benesha Davis!
My name is Anthony and I believe I can help you with your lack of time to network and research your area. You'll be in charge of the money. Message me and hope to hear from you soon! 

Thanks @Lucia Rushton! I tend to work in retail for my business owners. I'm looking for my first multi with a partner who'll use his VA loan for it. Let me know if you know of any POST-fix and flip in the Dallas and Austin areas. I have ideas for industrial buildings but need some more team members for that.

What are your goals for the near future and how can I help?
