Newbie from Dallas, TX

I'm an online marketer who is making a move from Austin to Dallas very soon. I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast off and on, and am looking to begin investing in 2016. 

What interests me is starting with a fourplex, and living there so I can learn the ins and outs of property management, and generating cashflow with renting. 

My hometown is in the suburbs of Dallas, but I don't know the geographic area or market that well. I'm looking to learn all that I can with the help of Bigger Pockets!!

     Duplexes are more readily available in the Dallas/Forth Area than a 4 unit building. I'd suggest searching in Northern Dallas (Coppell, Grapevine, Flower Mound) for quality duplexes. Spring time prices will rise. If you're looking to buy, I suggest start looking now. Buying in November thru February you'll have a better shot at getting a better valued property. 

     I've run my own 16 plex for 6 years. I'd be happy to give you some contact information regarding locating your property and lending.

Best Regards,
