However, I still struggle to understand the art of estimating rehab costs. 

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

Focus on neighborhoods like Northeast Dallas (Richardson, Garland) for tech job proximity and great schools, or Oak Cliff (Bishop Arts District, Kiestwood) for gentrification and trendy appeal.

Negotiating favorable terms is both an art and a science, and in real estate, it's a critical skill that can make or break a deal.

Hi All - does anyone have experience with purchasing a course on learning the art of doing real estate title searches?

Leases are signed electronically (esign.com), and I set them up with RentRedi for deposit, cleaning fee, and rent payments.

Hey @Marc Shin, you definitely need more art on the walls and color.
