@Account Closed I understand some of the C or D areas may have cash flow opportunities but tough to find much cash flow in B areas within nicer neighborhoods, schools etc., especially in the northern suburbs.  

@Russell Brazil Coincidence that I listened to Podcast # 192 this morning on my way to work. I have always heard/read that one should focus on cash flow only and not bank much on appreciation for rentals. The sort of market we have now-a-days in Dallas area calls for looking into appreciation play in my opinion. So, I frantically searched for a podcast with "appreciation" in its title and ran into your podcast. Loved your insights in the podcast! Thanks for your contributions to the RE and BP community, and congratulations on 5k posts!

@Andrew Postell Thanks for the recommendation. I have been to a couple of REI meetings. I need to continue to attend those more often, appreciate the reminder!

@Mark Creason I am currently looking for rental properties (discounted), even flips if that makes better financial sense over holding. Thanks.

Fellow DFW investors - I am seeking your recommendations on realtor/brokers and contractors in the DFW area that you may have worked with personally and highly recommend. I am currently analyzing some deals and would like to have a team ready when it's time to make a move. Thank you in advance!

Hello All,

I am interested in learning more about Multi-Family investing in the DFW/Dallas area, part of which includes meeting with like-minded and/or seasoned investors/lenders/contractors/syndicators. Please refer any local meetups where I can network and learn more. Additionally, please provide recommendations for any other material to read/hear/digest to gain general education in the MF investing. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

As others stated, get a bid/opinion from another plumber or couple more plumbers. I am sure you have done some due diligence online but here are some reads on water heaters in Irving.

Notice that the Dallas article says that FVIR heaters do not need to be elevated but not sure if the same applies for Irving or not. May be, call this company that published these articles. In any case, good luck and don't let these guys strong arm you!

@Brandon Richards Thanks for your input. I am not too worried about the numbers. I was wanting to know more about the practicality of getting a larger home rented. Do they rent easily? Potentially higher vacancy rates? Rent vs. sell?

Hello All!

I have recently started educating myself in the real estate field. Enjoying it thus far! Had a quick question and figured I would get some thoughts from the BP friends. I know that the preferred rental property is 3 bedroom/2 bathroom type house. That said, what are the chances of getting a larger house rented - around 3,500 sq. ft., 5 bedroom, 4 bathrooms on the east side of Plano. Also, do you guys have any recommendations for a good broker/agent who is an investor himself/herself? Thanks in advance for your input.
