Relocating to North Dallas Suburbs

Nicholas Roser
Posted

We are looking for advice on investing in the Dallas Area. We are looking for possible Duplex/investment properties while also trying to find a place to live. Are duplex's a good investment opportunity knowing we will need to live in one portion of it? Are there any other opportunities for investment or short-term place to live in that area?

Hi Nicholas, there are duplexes in the area, but they aren't quite as common as in other places I've done real estate. Prices in DFW are up quite a bit in the last four years as our rents, it depends on where you are looking.  I think the strategy can make sense considering what your goals are. Purchasing a half-duplex on one property ID is also possible, so keep an eye out for that. If you want to chat about rentals feel free to send me a DM and we can chat. I'm a broker with a team, but always glad to just share a little of what I've learned.
