Here in Dallas some of the park owners are doing a wrap around on their mobile homes and selling them to buyers who cannot get a loan other wise because of the DF act.

When the tenant gets nasty, we have to pull out our war chest, cowboy up and prepare for war.Kelly, I would STRONGLY suggest you consult with a real estate/eviction attorney.

I am from the Dallas area, and currently live in McKinney.

So I did as much research as i could online and found that all the cheap properties were in pretty rough neighborhoods and the local economy did not seem to support flipping in any significant volume.I then looked into Memphis TN, again all properties under 40k were in rough neighborhoods.I'm now leaning towards San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, or HoustonThe only problem with them is finding a house under 40k for us to live in, I did find a few Manufactured homes in the country close to Dallas and some a little over a hour north of Houston, I would be fine living in one of the manufactured homes close to Dallas for quite some time, my only issue is tying up most of my free cash in a house that i cannot refi to free up the cash again.Thanks for taking the time to read my rather long post and i look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Hello all.I llive in the Dallas area, more specifically McKinney, & have been in search of a investor Club/mentor/educator in the area that isn't a ridiculous drive and is a reasonable price.

Our market has more than a few over priced cowboys.

Ive got solid contacts in the Dallas area, and have bought a few rentals there but Im kicking the tires on expanding my businessThanks!

We flip and wholesale residential properties, and are starting a real estate business (as in, hiring agents and representing buyers and sellers).I'd love to connect with investors in the Dallas, Tyler, and East Texas areas.

As I do more digging on this site, any advice on books, local real estate groups in Dallas or anything you feel would be great to get started with, is more than welcome!

I couldn't help but roll my eyes reading your post ... though I did take 7-hours to go ~100 miles once on account of a whiteout.Just the same ... put me in Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans or Dallas in July or August and I don't cope well ...
