I'm working with my brokerage to get myself HUD registered so that we can bid on the HUD properties but my question is to anyone who has dealt with these lender/government owned properties before; are they worth pursuing?

Quote from @Katie Camargo: My experience they are not worth what they are used for on the claim.

I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.

With land investing/flipping becoming more democratized/accessible  (so many landed courses, tools, resources etc), current prices/RE trends etc, is it still worth getting into land investing/flipping for a brand new RE investor ?

Based on its price and rental income do you think it is worth it?

Managing a rental (even if it cash flows) comes with responsibilities, and it might not be worth it for $300 a month.

However, swapping a $1,075,000 property for one worth $650-700K creates a "boot" (unreinvested funds), which will be taxable.

Worth is the DFW Real Estate Investors Club...normally 2-3 hours including breakfast. 

Put in about ten grand and a summer's worth of weekends in sweat equity and the deal is very sweet.

@Amir PortalStarting the BRRRR strategy in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area is a smart way to build your real estate portfolio, especially with the area's growth and rental demand.
