DFW Buy and Hold Investors: Are you still cash-flowing?

[Daniel Mendez]

I am looking for some guidance. 

My wife and I are wanting to buy our 1st buy and hold investment property. 

We have two options, out-of-state or in our backyard aka DFW.

However, based on what we hear and the properties we analyze it is a challenge to find properties that can potentially cash flow because of high property taxes.

What are some ways you are still managing to buy properties that still cash-flow with high interest rates and high property taxes? Are you finding the properties yourselves? Asking for seller financing?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated
