I am attending BPCON this year in Cancun and love to catch up with anyone attending from Dallas, TX. 

Bad business that negatively impacts multiple peoples lives like that shouldn't go unnoticed, I'll definitely keep an eye out.

This will steer your research.Get to Know the Market:Check Property Values: See how property prices are moving in the areas you’re eyeing.

Conventional loans for investment properties like the duplexes may be a better option if you’re holding multiple properties.Market Considerations:You’re absolutely right that finding a duplex in Lexington under $300k in a desirable area might be tough, but keep an eye on market trends and perhaps look for off-market deals.

This is why Freddie & Fannie keep such a close eye on your rent rolls and financial statements.

The 46218 zip code, specifically Martindale-Brightwood and then Near Southeast were a couple places that caught my eye as more affordable with good cash flow opportunity while still being B- neighborhoods.

I know they could have been pulling the wool over my eyes, but it was only 3 days and I wasn't going to make a stressful situation worse.

We’re getting a fresh set of eyes in the property.  

You didn't mention each of those markets, but there are cities in those areas that are worth researching or learning a bit about.Best of luck as you get started and again, feel free to ask more questions or reach out personally if I can help you navigate and learn BP and get started investing.Best -  Thanks for the mention Chris,It's a pleasure getting words of praise from an OG like yourself.Hope to catch up with you again one day soon 🙏

Especially because I have my eye on a few more just like this one!
