My brother and Sister-in-law live in Dallas and it is a dynamic market. 

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Also much of rural CA.. price points are not what folks think of CA there are areas of CA that are just flat gorgeous with housing readily available for 200k to 400k.Most people also don't realize that most of Eastern CA is just about as redneck/cowboy as places in AZ or TX (much like eastern Oregon).

I’ve spent less than 150k total out of pocket investing in RE in the last 9 years and have been buying “base hits” in Dallas and Arkansas and now have 29 SFR.

Does have an assumable VA mortgage (per the listing). https://www.redfin.com/TX/Dallas/4512-Sycamore-St-75204/home...

Clearly there is a lot of competition in the Dallas market.

Areas like Memphis, Little Rock, Dallas/FTW, Houston, OKC, Tulsa, St.

As a market, Dallas is still growing rapidly.

I’m exploring emerging areas like San Antonio, Houston, Austin and Dallas.

Mountaintop, Dallas, etc.).

There used to be some landlord seminars for Dallas Housing Authority ever so often, so that might be a good place to ask if they are still doing those.One thing to think about is if Section8 might be subject to the DOGE cuts?
