Getting Started North of McKinney

Andrew Jones

After a long time saving and learning I've got the nugget I want to use to begin my REI journey. My current plan is:

Single family 3/2's along the McKinney to Dennison stretch of 75. Looking in lower middle class areas where cash purchase + rehab comes in at 120k. While I'm local (Allen) I need to approach this as if I were out of state. That means working with an agent, gc and property manager who can work online and with minimal physical presence. I have access to legal and accounting from my software consulting. I'm looking BRRRR to hold, but should have flexibility by not needing to finance out of the gate should a different exit be needed.

My next step seems to be contacting agents and property management in the area.  Once the hunt begins in earnest finding a contractor will be the biggest hurdle.  I've been reluctant to make these calls in the past because I don't want to waste people's time.  Now I'm ready to move forward and it's time to meet people.

Wish me luck!

Hey Andrew. Nobody ever wants to make those calls. It’s the people who do that are successful. 
Good luck on your journey!
