Is finding rental property a question of available funds or more the right property?

[Steve S.]

Obviously both play a roe, but I have some money to invest and am having trouble getting started.

I think it's more an issue of too much information and knowing what to look for and what the right measures of a quality investment property are.

I'm in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. I'd love to have a realtor or someone that is experienced at acquiring rental properties to work with, but more someone I can trust as opposed to just looking to make fees from my purchase(s).

Any specific links or resource you could recommend to help identify quality properties?

For example, there's a couple of homes in a nice middle to upper middle class neighborhood near Watauga that are going for about $180,000. .15 acres with about 2,300 square feet.

I'm not sure where to begin to evaluate those properties to determine if they would be a good rental investment or not.
