Hi everyone,

I've been a BP fan for several years now as well as a long time lurker on the forums. I recently moved to Dallas from NYC after I closed on my first house hack and am now looking to connect with other investors in the area. Open to joining an existing meetup group or even talking informally 1:1 (so if you don't have a group but are interested in connecting, DM me!). I'd still consider myself a newbie, but feel I have a lot to share about my journey so far and would love to talk with others who are as passionate about investing as I am!

You can definitely find SOME multifamily in central Dallas, for less than a mil. I found my first house hack (a fourplex) in a lovely area of older homes, right on the edge of Bishop Arts and Kessler. The neighborhood is called Kings Highway, and it's probably a 5-10 min drive from downtown Dallas. The neighborhood is a mix of single and multifamily, so there are several Duplexes/Triplexes and even a few Quadplexes. It took me over a year to find it, and I'm paying way more than my tenants right now (partially because of my mortgage rate), but cash flow wasn't my goal- right now I want to build as much equity as possible. Super happy with my decision to move to Dallas from NYC, the savings in taxes alone made it well worth it financially. Good luck!
