I don't think either Southlake or Frisco are good rental markets. 

@Nick ConnorsIt’s great that you’re using your savings to invest early, and Columbus could be a solid market given your familiarity.

Or do you want to generate off market deals.

I still am on the lists of all the major wholesalers and still show up to showings occasionally on properties that might have enough margin for me but have not purchased recently from a wholesaler.Just like Adrien says, they provide a service of marketing and negotiating contracts for you.

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about getting into the arbitrage space for awhile and midterm makes sense for my market.

I'm a local realtor and would love to connect and chat about the local market.

Make sure you learn the markets.

I work specifically with investors and market for run-down properties that I am able to offer to investors I work with exclusively, on top of the properties that are available on the MLS.

Congratulations @David Shaun - those are awesome numbers, and should hold up with the low liabilities, regardless of market. 

Highly recommend partnering with a local realtor who knows the market.
