What are good Zip codes recommendations for buying rental property in Dallas? 

[Bruce Lynn]

Best zip codes can mean different things to different people.  I could tell you the highest appreciation is in the Park Cities, but then the minimum to get in is $1,000,000 and rents are probably in the 1/2% range.  That doesn't help you a lot if your budget is $100,000.   Since your question is pretty general, you might check out this article from DMN and Steve Brown who is our Real Estate reporter and a very good one in my opinion who has been doing it for a long time.  I think most of the time he is right on.  However there are lots of variables that can skew numbers too.   Here are some potential areas for you from some of these articles.
