Dallas is a city with a lot of potential to invest in real estate.

In our case, avoiding a buyer's commission seems to be potentially helpful with negotiations, especially since we are purchasing below what we can afford, and can pay up front for RE attorney, buyer RE fees, etc.

My ultimate goal is to acquire enough real estate to achieve financial freedom, allowing me to travel, provide a comfortable life for my family, and teach my children about discipline, financial literacy, and the wealth-building potential of real estate.I’m here to learn, share, and connect with others who share this passion.

I'm looking at investing in several out-of-state markets (potential BRRRR strategy in mind), I have a list of qualifiers that I'm sussing out to determine viable markets but would love to know: what data helps in determining a good market to invest?

My interests lie in all areas of real estate, and I am eager to explore potential opportunities and gain insights into effective strategies.

If you have a potential tenant that "might not" be a good payer, just don't sign a lease. 

Their focus on attracting higher-end guests may reduce potential issues.

And there are still deals here that cashflow and have appreciation potential at affordable price points. 

In NC, tempered is required in potential slip/fall areas.

And all of this happens during the contract period reducing purchasing risk.Great strategy especially when practiced just on the outskirts of a major metro area in a country setting(a weekend getaway property that can be marketed to city folk).
