@Chris M. Geiger They're everywhere. Would love to learn a little bit more about your criteria. Are you local to DFW looking for an investment home? Is this your first home purchase looking to house hack? Is your financing in order? Are you in research mode? I would love to help out where I can, but would love to know where you are at in your real estate investing career.

@Mary Gansallo Combination, but mostly remote. We prefer someone within DFW at minimum for relational purposes and training as needed.

Hey yall! 

My business partner and I are looking for some PT help in the Dallas area. We buy and hold properties as well as run a construction business and need someone to take extreme ownership in the technology side of it. The goal is to drum up sales on the construction side as well as create an informative website on our real estate investment firm that we can share with clients. No web development needed, but someone that is organized and a problem solver. Please DM me if you or someone you know would like to work with a couple of local Dallas guys and learn about real estate investing along the way.

Hey @Albertinny Colin, what has been your experience in investing in Wilmington? Long-term, short-term, flips? Super interested in the city, but don't know enough about the place at the moment.

@Miller McSwain You can order a quick estimate from Roof Scope and they cost $15.00. This will give you the size. You can measure the ridges and valleys on Google Maps and get within $100 of your cost for a new roof. This is how I run my roofing business here in Dallas.

@Cameron Hunt I have never seen accurate numbers in 6 years. You can find better deals on the MLS fairly easily.

@Rusty Haake you can do the same leveraging with a hard money lender and then refinance into a portfolio lender or traditional Fannie/Freddie product. Hard money will only cost you a little over the $5,000 interest you are offering, but streamlines the process on your end with endless capital based on the home. Personally, being in Dallas, I don't think you can get a $30,000 price reduction due to a cash offer vs a financed offer, but want to encourage you to start with one and maybe take it all down by yourself or be a passive partner to learn a little bit on your first investment property before seeking outside capital. Please shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions. I would be happy to help where I can through my experiences.

@Brent Cheney what are some of your goals in real estate and what action items have you taken/plan on taking to achieve them? Congrats on taking the first steps man.

Our company is a 10 out of 10 satisfied with David Thompson from 4Square Insurance. His communication is amazing and knows how to manage our portfolio so we don't have to. Sends reminders as needed and takes care of everything start to finish. We are at the point where all we do is shoot over an address and he knows what to do. Huge time saver for us an an asset to our company and growing real estate portfolio. Please shoot me a DM and I will share his contact. I am NOT affiliated in any way with him except a super satisfied client. After a few other agents in the past, he has full control over our 4MM portfolio here in Dallas.
