Depends on location, but I'm seeing more opportunities to buy, fix, and rent. Open to sharing more of our model.

Congrats on having the money to invest! Before you get any further, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend writing out your specific investment goals, your reason for investing, how active you want to be, if you want invest close to home etc. Once you do that, then you start to figure out the best path. Don't fall for the masterminds or hustle and grind type of content, know yourself and then look at the most direct path. For us, its about creating posititve impact, long-term capital appreciation, and decent cashflow, so we are investing in low-to-moderate income heavy value-add 3/2 SFRS in southern DFW. All very intentional

I think you go where the opportunity is and where you have some leverage and if you feel that Tennessee offers you that, I would look there, just be prepared to use that as a learning experience, so you may need to travel more, which it sounds like you're willing to do. When it comes down to strategy, center around why you're investing and your long-term goal, but don't stop there, then look at niche strategies that accomplish that. Just saying you want to do a BRRR isn't enough. You need to incorporate the type of vintage you want to buy, your ideal value-add strategy, the market and submarket, how you want to buy, etc.

Personally, we really love the southern sector of DFW, including southern Dallas, southern Fort Worth, Ellis, Kaufman, Johnson counties. There's less aggressive growth, but also less competition. There's also a solid inventory of homes that can be purchased and rehabbed at a discount to market. Happy to share more

Congrats on taking action! Before you get any further, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend writing out your investment goals, your reason for investing, how active you want to be, etc. Once you do that, then you start to figure out the best path. Build-to-rent in a community takes a lot more steps and I'd recommend you look to partner with someone else and do a lot more pre-work. If you are a doing an infill build-to-rent, that's fine, but in the current environment, it is very difficult to make any cashflow so its a 100% appreciation play. Most SFRs in Dallas are still appreciation plays, but if you are doing a value-add rehab deal you can balance it more with some cashflow. I do value-add and scattered site BTR in Dallas, happy to chat more!

Congrats on taking action! Before you get any further, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend writing out your investment goals, your reason for investing, how active you want to be, if you want invest close to home etc. Once you do that, then you start to figure out the best path. There's always buying opportunities but in times like these, it tends to be more niche, which requires you to have a more specific strategy with goals in mind. For us, that looks like 3/2 single-family homes in low-to-moderate income areas of DFW where we can conduct full gut rehabs and hold 5-10 years. Every part of that thesis is based on data and our own investment goals.

Congrats on taking action to get into the game. Before you get any further, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend writing out your investment goals, your reason for investing, your constraints, etc. (Example: investing for long-term capital growth for your kids education in 15 years, you have $200K to play with, you want to be an active investor in a market within 3 hours of you). Once you do that, it becomes a lot easier to parse through your options. Do you already have a buy box of deals you are looking for?

It really depends on your overall investment goals, how patient you want to be, etc. It sounds like if you’re looking to invest in North Texas, you aren’t a cash flow investor. North Texas is an optimal market for long-term growth, so unless you get a serious discount, I would go for a single-home over a duplex. But I would warn that you should still look for a great discount on the single-family side as well. Deals won’t pencil otherwise. As far as joining a program, I can’t say yes or no, but would warn against shelling out a bunch of money for a course or mastermind. There’s plenty of solid free resources. Our thesis in North Texas is finding heavy discounts, conducting comprehensive renovations, and holding long-term in middle income markets. Happy to talk more about the market here and what we are seeing.
