Newbie from NYC - Looking to relocate to the DFW/North Texas area

[James L.]

Hi! I'm James. I currently live in New York City, where I was born and raised. As much as I love New York, I plan to relocate to Dallas in 2 to 3 years for a quieter, calmer, and better quality of life for me and my little family. This is also the reason why I am looking to invest in rental properties (single family homes) in the DFW/North Texas area to start.

I currently work as a project manager for a global financial institution and I am also a personal finance blogger. 

I am just getting started so still need to figure out quite a few things like:

• The type of business entity I should set up
• The county/neighborhood I should look at and how to determine whether there are cash flow deals
• Good contacts (i.e. property managers, contractors, agents, etc.,)

Super excited to get things going and take advantage (and hopefully be able to contribute at some point) of this great community!
