If you’re just starting out and have the time, I’d recommend self-managing at least your first couple of properties.

Only thing I'd plan to keep would be the larger multi-family - sell the small stuff, all of it and get yourself in a better capital position. 

I'd also suggest that the remaining tenant pay only their rent for one month and that you use the security deposit from the other tenant to cover that missed rent.

Although again the guys i funded that have 250 plus units probably have 10 mil or more in forced equity. 

Some cities have landlord fees as wellIf you'd like, I’d be happy to jump on a quick call to go over your numbers and help you feel confident in your decision.

I'd rather trust that research than something like airdna or rabbu.

Hello Lisa, I'd recommend reaching out directly to the planning department.

I’m looking to build connections with realtors here in the DFW area, as I’m eager to explore opportunities and share knowledge with professionals in the real estate industry.If you're a realtor or involved in any real estate activities in the DFW region, I’d love to connect and collaborate.

I’d recommend starting with rental arbitrage to get your feet wet and generate some positive cash flow.While I haven’t personally done rental arbitrage, some of my employees have, and they found it to be profitable.However, as a long-term strategy, you’re essentially building your castle on someone else’s land.

I’d be looking for areas with major stores or ones that are close to a big city but not too far.
