Tips for investing in Arlington, TX

[Account Closed]

Hello:  We live in California but looking to invest in Texas, Arlington specifically.  We have a small amount of funds and are considering buying 1-2 SFHs to start .  Arlington came up when doing some reading as a good potential city with expected job growth.  Do you have tips for this endeavor? ex. how to find a good match for a buying agent, doing as much legwork as possible by phone or internet and keeping travel to a minimum.  Thank you!!
