New Investor looking in Dallas/Fort Worth

[Dustin Tran]

Hi BP community!

I am a new investor looking to invest in the DFW market.  I've visited the area several times over the last decade because my brother lives in the Dallas suburbs.  

Goal: Buy and hold rental properties, BRRRR in the near/far future.
Budget: <150k.   I understand that its hard to meet the 1% rule in the DFW market these days

Cities of Interest: I heard that Irving, Grand Prairie, Arlington, HEB, and Forth Worth have good rental potential and are landlord friendly(?) compared to Dallas/Mesquite/Garland.

Can anyone provide any insight in which cities/neighborhoods to look into?  Also, is it worth it to look into 2-4plexes or should I stick to SFRs?

Thank you!
