Great post @Garrett Brown, we have a vibey outdoor hang with string lights, plants and seating by a mini gas fire pit.

With careful planning and market analysis, Dallas can be an excellent place to grow your portfolio.Good luck!

I’d recommend starting locally and self-managing if feasible, then transitioning to hiring help as you grow or invest further away.Good luck!

Find local meetups, rub elbows with other investors, find out what they need, and then find a way to meet that need.For example, maybe an investor is growing fast and struggling to keep up with inspections.

I went all in, I had a few 401K’s so I cashed in the one that was growing the slowest and took the penalty and purchased my first property.

You're in the perfect place to grow your knowledge every day!

Excited to learn and grow here!

It also shows that you're serious and committed to finding a program that will truly help you grow.

I was studying the market and my rent will be just enough to cover the mortgage and HOA fee now I might to pay out of pocket for insurance but don't want to sell it yet because the area is growing and might have good appreciation in the years that follow.

With that said, I've done some research on the market and found the following information helpful in my considerations for Phoenix that you might find helpful as well:  Demand for both buying and renting property remains high due to the city's strong economy and growing population.
