I’m looking to start in DFW since I live in Arlington but eventually I’ll be open to other markets to diversify my portfolio.  

My method has always been to call every listing that hit 90 days on market in areas that I want to buy.

Nice to spot your introduction.. what's the biggest hurdle you're seeing in today's market?

I am particularly interested in:Understanding the fundamentals of wholesalingNavigating Texas-specific real estate laws and regulationsBuilding a strong network of cash buyers and motivated sellersLearning effective marketing strategiesAnalyzing and evaluating dealsIf anyone is willing to share their experiences, tips, or resources, I would greatly appreciate it.

However, we are able to offer this type of financing internally with our own funds on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the borrower’s profile, the property’s condition, and the scope of work.

Most of these course instructors aren't qualified to teach anything but the most elementary real estate concepts and try to make their courses more marketable by teaching concepts they have no business teaching. 

A lot to take in with the Cincinnati market.

I am not looking in markets outside of Michigan at this time.

Study the market.

thanks for the guidance @Kaushik Sarkar Since it's development it will take longer to get to the exit. 3 years could be right depending on the market, if the project requires entitlements, how long it takes for permits, no major utility obstacles, etc.
