Do you have a roofer and/or handyman that you can recommend in the Dallas, TX area?

You can find cash flow neutral or positive in Houston (I invest there) and San Antonio, and possibly in Dallas metros in very decent neighborhoods as those are strong economies and growing metros, though those markets may lack the sexiness and tech profile of Austin.

One main issue being the frig water line leaking and no one saying anything till I happened to go in the basement and see the waterfall coming from the first level - ruined my new hardwood floors :-(  Wondering if peoples fears and issues change much from different cities like New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Orlando, Seattle, Kanas City, Etc.

I am located in the Dallas area. 

We will be in Dallas/Dallas Fort Worth, San Antonio/Austin Areas very soon.

We have recently moved to the DFW area and are looking to buy a couple of properties using the funds from the sale of a townhome in Denver. Our price range is $150k/ property. We would love to get some thoughts on are...

Allan Hancock College is there also, employs around 400 people.Home to the 20th Space Wing, this paired with the air-force base supports an economy also driven by tech, innovation and industry.Major employers that support the area are UCSB, air-force Base, Dignity Health Central Coast, SB Cottage Hospital, Raytheon Co..There is prison there.Two airports somewhat nearby: Santa Barbara airport - direct flights to Dallas, Denver, LV, Oakland, Phx, SF and Seattle.

If it were 2011 and you were buying in Atlanta or Dallas, absolutely that would work.

August REI out of the Dallas area is $35 per loan per month and includes portal for you and buyer, tax forms for you and buyer, collections ( if needed), etc...
