Aspiring Investor moving to Dallas,TX

[Jasmine Smith]

Hello. I have saved up for my first real estate investment. I am moving to Dallas,TX and wanted to take a step out and get started there. Since The area will be new to me and I don’t have any connections there yet I was hoping for advice. How should I go about my first venture? Since I will need housing myself  I was thinking I could find a foreclosed or distressed property for under market value. Fix it up if necessary and live in it until I can find renters? Then repeat the process. Can someone please lend me as much advice as possible on this idea and anything else.
