Hey all, 

My husband and I want to buy a house hack in Dallas, TX. We are very new to the game and would love for any advice, meet ups, recommendations, ETC. 

Thanks

    Welcome to BiggerPockets and welcome to real estate!

    Dallas is a great market and there are a lot of people flipping houses in Dallas, however it can be very competitive. 

    Good luck to you and welcome!

    Great idea.   Have you decided where you want to live yet?   Have you worked on your preapproval yet?   Have you decided when you want to move?

    Hello @Hannah Givens and welcome

    Everything @Chad Rocke wrote with one addition regarding #4 - don't just purchase, actually read. Tapping into the minds of experienced investors is priceless. 

    Also, set a date. Commit to a date within say 9 months where you want to move to your new house and put it in your calendars. 

    Good luck you guys!
