I’m seeing that property crime is pretty high and since I’m an out of state investor, I would have a hard time keeping an eye on the ground besides cleaners/handymen between stays. 

So I can keep an eye on that. 

Eyeing Dallas as my starting point. 

I invest to make money, although I always keep an eye on taxes, taxes are a secondary concern to the investment.

These forums will be a good resource too, but nothing beats shaking someones hand, looking them in the eye and listening to what they have to say.Best of luck!

I'll definitely keep an eye on that and maybe put a little sealant around the edges.

Otherwise, you can take on a bit higher risk and acquire an off-market opportunity yourself, but you will not have the guard-rails of a Realtor and Lender to keep you away from expert-eye (or obvious) pitfalls.2) Tools and Analyzing Deals:What Tools - The analysis can be done via the BP Calculator (lucky for you, you're a PRO and have included access).

Be ahead of the game, grab chances that fit your investing plan, and keep eyes on your money aims.Good luck!

It's been an insane eye opener for me. 

In what world is that even a rational suggestion - it's the equivalent of saying just close your eyes and everything is going to be okay!
