@Colin Conn Thanks! Rentals make the most sense long term, but the math is tricky here in DFW. Seems like most investors are flipping or banking on appreciation.

Morning BP'ers

First post here. I've been patiently saving and researching for about 6 months and I'm getting a little "analysis paralysis". I grew up and currently reside in Dallas proper and work in McKinney and it seems like rentals are maxed out due to high property taxes. My next-best strategy was to live-in flip on a 9 to 12 month turn around, but I'm finding that lenders don't like to shell out cash to first time flippers. Explored house-hacking a MF but I haven't seen any ~$250k / $300k inventory from SMU up 75 to McKinney. So my next question becomes, does anyone have experience / recommendations for buying new from a homebuilder? Some new builds around 380 are selling quickly and slightly under market, but I haven't seen much discussion regarding those properties as investments. 

Appreciate any thoughts!
