Arlington Texas Rental Property

[Harvey Corsino]

Any one here who have rental properties in  in Arlington Texas? Is it good to invest in Arlington Texas right now? Any areas I need to avoid before I buy a property in Arlington. I am worried about the crime rate and the no means of transportation (just car) in the area.Thank you very much.

Arlington is interesting place.....I go in a lot of properties all over the city.  The one thing I notice that stands out to me is the tenants seem to be a little rougher on the properties there on average.   My though is make sure you buy at a great price, always get the full deposit, have a great property manager.   Make sure the property manager takes and sends you pictures of the outside of the house monthly, and interior pictures quarterly.  We notice this helps keeps things in better order.   I think Arlington is just one of those places where you want a very active property manager, not just one collecting checks.
