From there, it was suggested to ask what they would rent the property for so you already know upfront before an offer is made on the property. 

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.

So our PITI on the home is $4,020/mo.Keep as rental- Market comps suggest a wide rental range - $3,800-$5,000+.

Without a job, no money to invest.These are great suggestions Caleb, much appreciated! 

If cash flow is your goal, you might look into areas like Jonesboro, Forest Park, Lithonia, or Stone Mountain, where RTP ratios tend to be higher these are just a few areas I'd suggest.

Outside of that, my suggestion is to do something really hard and/or interesting.

-when figuring rules of thumb regarding payroll cost per employee/position or things like repairs and maintenance cost, contract services, etc. per door in a specific market do yall suggest contacting a property manager to find out these numbers or actually using google or job listings etc. i thought about using chat GPT as well. any thoughts on this?

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

But I would recommend to narrow your scope and decide what you want to do - and specialize, at least for now.Hi Marcus, thank you for the suggestion, I really do appreciate it!
