Build to rent or buy property and rent out

[Nithin Thampi]

Hi,

I'm interested in buying a rental property in Dallas or the outskirts of DFW. What is the best way to approach this, build to rent communities or buy a property and rent out with property management. I'm new and have never bought an investment property.  

How does build to rent work and what builders are best for this?

@Nithin Thampi You will likely get more bang for your buck buying an existing property as opposed to new build which often has higher cost per sq. ft. than existing properties will.
