Dallas Area Investing - Newbie- Market Specifics

[Mike Marchelli]

Hello BP.

I have some experience investing in other markets ( SFH fix and flips and a few rentals.) I am looking to get into the Dallas area for obvious reasons.

If anyone could breakdown some Market Specifics for me that would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for general knowledge. Things to look out for (structural damage, flood plains, zip codes that are seeing so much activity that the market is becoming overly competitive and driving up acquisition prices.) Overall patterns in which zip codes are next. 

Title companies do closings, not attorneys, correct? Transfer tax? 

I know some of those are broad questions, but just spit balling and looking for some info. Any help would be appreciated! 

Thanks, MM
