I can do financial modeling with you and talk to other new build investors it's a slow growth plan. build directly at 25% below the market and also identify land too. increase unit counts and get better economies of scale. single family homes will never perform like a three story walk up apartment. we build a stacked triplex in Columbus Ohio with a picture below, if you are set on Dallas look at land prices and see if the economics help. 

I was interested in this type of deal because I was living in the area for another year and needed to build equity as well as dip my feet into the real estate market.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

I tried attending one in my local market a couple of times but felt like I was in some hotel ballroom being pitched on how the 12 year-old kid up in front would teach us all how to run to the back of the room to swipe $10K on our AMEX for the secrets of real estate investing.

I would always lean towards markets that are landlord-friendly. 

It is our goal to provide all the tools, resources, education & coaching any individual needs to learn how to build a sustainable investment portfolio to achieve financial independence & generational wealth through real estate investing.It should be noted, that while the Academy is not a requirement to invest with RTR, the individuals that do join the Academy are much more successful long term since they have spent time to clearly develop their own individual investment strategy & plan!

Leverage your W-2 income for better loan terms, explore private/hard money for off-market deals, and network with investors to expand your deal flow.Good luck!

Houston is a great market for JVs, wishing you both success! 

In Cleveland you can find below market rental ready duplexes that require minor repairs (keep in mind that discounted properties come with their own challenges).

As for Raleigh, if you’ve already seen the success of Airbnb-ing rooms there, it’s worth exploring further, as it’s a growing market with plenty of demand.For alternative strategies in Greensboro, look into renting by the room, especially for professionals or students.
