Value add opportunities are over-shadowed by massive amounts of new construction. 

The market here offers a lot of potential.I highly recommend making a trip here to get a feel for the different neighborhoods and understand where the best opportunities lie.

With a competitive landscape for all types of real estate I had a very difficult time finding opportunities where the price and numbers looked good, and the seller was motivated enough to carry a note.

I aim to buy my first investment property this year and am considering residential opportunities both in DFW and OOS. 

My recommendation, depending on income, is to get 2-8 total properties per city and really allocate 40-60% of your intended investment before moving to the next city.

Owner Financing and opportunity How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This gives you a better opportunity to do STR or MTR and not bother yourself or the LTR tenant with more people coming in an out.3.

Many investors in that situation look for value-add opportunities.

This is my first investment of this sort and it has not worked out how I originally intended but I am learning from my mistakes and will be making better decisions in the near future What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The problem is that you don't get an opportunity to do an inspection before you buy.If you buy pre-sale from the owner, you have arrears to bring current, getting the owner to move after you have solved their problem and taken the pressure off, along with the previously listed concerns.
