Duplex in Dallas

[Chuck Culpepper]

I've been following the MLS and see several duplex deals in far east Dallas (south of I30 and west of I635). They've been selling at 10% cap rates. It's not a very nice area so there likely won't be much appreciation but it looks like they cash flow pretty well. I'm focusing in this area because it's seems to be a happy medium of affordability and not a complete dump.

Does anybody have Duplex advice in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex or specifically the area I'm looking in? Looking to make my first investment and would love a successful one.

Thanks

Chuck
