I'm still running the numbers on properties every day, but I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions, or tips for investing out of state into a better market. 

I keep thinking about tools that can help me reduce risk by catching errors or red flags in seller disclosures and inspection docs, but that's likely because I've had a bad experiences with both.A simple and obvious example is a seller checking "No" for pests section, such as Scorpions and Snakes in Arizona when the property is in the desert, so obviously, there will be snakes and scorpions. 

All North DFW has the highest appreciation while South DFW will be giving you the better cash flow.If this is your first rodeo, then I would suggest to be close home if you are also planning to self-manage.Then the age of the properties and access to highways.

I would highly suggest starting with a rougher but livable/rentable multi so that you can learn and make money without all the downsides.

Or does anyone have any suggestions?

Look, I think of it this simple, I don't know a single established millionaire who does the "standard" consumer debt thing.

Its really simple.

Has anyone ever heard of this or do you have any suggestions for a new MLO with no experience?

I've flipped about a dozen properties here in Chicago, and quite honestly, it felt like something different went wrong on each one of them.My biggest piece of advice is to KEEP IT SIMPLE starting out. 

What are my options, or do you have any input or suggestions?
