Hello all,

I'm completely green when it comes to real estate, as in currently learning the terminology new. I never thought about real estate being something I would be remotely interested in, I'm more of a combat sports guy. I just recently started a jiu jitsu academy with a couple of friends, and although I was not in the day to day grind of the process in finding a building and building the space out, I did become fascinated with the process. This lead me into Youtube and construction/renovations, which eventually brought real estate and investing onto my radar. I recognize how much work is needed to succeed in this industry, and thanks to the US Army working hard has never been an issue for me. I guess my first question, which I imagine is similar for many who enters into this forum, is what is the best first steps for someone who is interested in real estate and investing, but doesn't have a great deal of capital to begin the journey?

Thank you all in advance for your feedback, wisdom, and tips.

Long time reader and first time poster. Has anyone ever purchased a property from Omni Key realty in North Texas? I signed up for their investor profile because I am interested in the appreciation in the North Texas (or northern suburbs of DFW) market. I have been to the DFW area a few times but not specifically to these northern suburbs, but I know that DFW is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country with a robust economy, and I expect it to keep growing. Omni Key sells mainly single family with some duplexes, and advertises off market deals on new construction and in fill properties. Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else).  I just wonder about the quality of the new construction itself and the quality of contractors being used.   

Regards,

Hi all!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My wife and I are new investors transitioning into Commercial Real Estate, with a focus on multifamily properties. Our goal is to scale quickly and acquire as many properties as possible, with no upper limit on our ambitions. Currently, we are targeting multifamily properties of 100+ units, and have been actively engaging with various owners and brokers, submitting Letters of Intent (LOIs) and working to secure deals.

While some may consider our approach bold for new investors, we are confident that, with the right team and expertise, we can succeed in achieving our objectives.

I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from your collective experience. I welcome any guidance, mentoring, and potential partnership opportunities as we progress in our journey.

Thank you for the opportunity to connect.

Hi everyone - I have a fully occupied duplex that I am looking to sell in the heart of Dallas, Texas. One side has a tenant lease that expires JAN 2026, and the other has a lease that expires AUG 2025. Fantastic tenants and the home brings in solid revenue. But, we now live across the country and managing from this far just doesn't make sense for us anymore so we are ready to sell. We need to find a realtor who is able to connect us with other investors looking to take on a fully occupied property and I would like to list quietly to avoid disturbing the tenants. Any suggestions? 

Any recommendations on good contractors for a remodel project in Hurst TX?

We got an application for a single family rental which is in Dallas. The application is someone with an address from NC. The job location says NC. They are currently in Dallas. They submitted paystubs and bank statements from two different banks. The bank statements has deposit showing gross pay from the pay stub and not the net pay after taxes. So I cant reconcile the paystub with the bank statement. AND The balance on one statement is < 100 and other not enough to cover the first months rent and deposit. They are ready to move in asap. This is concerning to me but can anyone let me know if I am missing something.
