I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

These areas are experiencing significant development and population growth, driven by families and professionals seeking more affordable housing while staying close to the job hubs in Plano, Frisco, and even parts of North Dallas.

For starter, I am married to my 9-5 job and looking for a way out.

Your aim starting out should be to get the best reviews as possible and use guest feedback to make improvements as you go.

Get a job in property management.

So as the new build went on, we focused on improvements to our first home and got it ready for tenants.

Once the construction of the business building was far enough along (but no more than 180 days) that the price of the land and the amount of improvements you make on it are equal to the sale of your old investment property you take title to it and that would complete your 1031 exchange. 

Not to mention the economic development steps the town is taking in ensuring the growth of town (roads, schools, zoning) stays on par with the future expected population growth and new jobs that are going to be a result of the new factories opening.  

Vet your contractors and engage partners if you don't have the experience for the job.

We have substantial job opportunities here.
