You might be right @Dakota Ferguson. I really dont know what the construction costs would be for a new build but seeing small dilapidated houses go for 130k in bad neighborhoods, makes me think I could do better. Plus no hidden repairs or surprises. I think the biggest drawback would be the time it takes to actually start making money. 

DFW housing market is super hot (expensive) as you all know, which makes it very difficult for a newbie like me to get in the game. So it got me thinking, why not build on one of these small lots in South Dallas. Small 1300 sqft house on a small 7000 sqft lot. My thought was to use it as a rental.  I was wondering if anyone has any experience doing this or if it would even be profitable.
