DFW is a great market to invest in! I've helped over 30 investors find, fund and rehab their properties in 2024! I specialize in off market distressed properties, I get anywhere from 40-60 deals on a monthly basis. Happy to discuss your real estate needs further, feel free to give me a call (817) 808-2921

HI @Gill Shus

Welcome to bigger pockets!

We definitely need more investors to fix & flip properties that are fairly run down. 

Here is some advice on:

Finding your areas you want

Utilize this website https://www.areavibes.com/

Its a great resource & gives you a 30,000 foot view of a city/zip code.

Finding your investor friendly agent:

Go to the top of this page under AGENTS. After that you will be asked a series of questions and from there you will be matched with 3-5 agents in your area. I would suggest picking an agent who has the best reviews or forum posts, that way you know they are truly active on here and have the experience!

Let me know if I can help, best of luck in 2025 to ya!

Thank you @Ryan Blake! Hi Gill, I would love to work with you. You can reach me at 817-822-2640 [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you! 

@Sherry Patterson is a great investor and agent in DFW. I have used her multiple times and have had borrowers I work with use her. She is professional and will work harder than probably any other agent. She also runs a meet up every 4th Monday of the month in Euless by the airport. Strongly recommend showing up to that to meet other investors.

I suggest staying in the $300k to $450k ARV range in Tarrant, Denton, and Parker Counties $350k to $550k in Dallas and Collin Counties. This is just above the median home price in each of these areas but you should still have a large buyer pool for a well rehabbed home. Work force housing is the key. Don't go high-end right now until the market adjusts more.

To give you some key metrics beyond ARV - I closed 141 loans for deals in DFW. The costs vs ARV on those deals averaged to 73.2%. This means the purchase + the rehab / ARV is 73.2%. If your costs come in higher than 76% of the ARV, then you are probably paying too much.

Hope this all helps.
