NO debt NO debt NO debt on rentals is the way to go as you mature in age as an investors.

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.

Further, we need to account for a $10k “reserve” for what will be repairs / maintenance as the property ages.  

So most investors just throw in the same expense factors no matter the age of the property.

Some of my Scottsdale connections who specialize in land deals have been whispering about how a few smaller outfits in Casper.. from what I’ve heard, outfits tucked behind older storefronts, have been matching buyers with off-market parcels that never even hit the usual channels.If you line up your financing carefully (no legal or tax advice here, just speaking from experience), you can sometimes lock in a deal that ages nicely over tthe years.

Old age?
