Under bidding, poor quality, not following timelines - those will all kill your project.

Account ClosedEven with high interest rates, lots of folks investing or buying homes do well with FHA loans because of small down payments and good loan terms.

Not high on my priority list. do you have dog or dogs.. 

If PPR gave a percentage of its profit (which is likely very high or else they couldn't pay 12% year in year out) then their fund might be worth a second look.The fund PPR I was in sent out their first round of notes to buy and they were all in the rust belt, with VERY questionable collateral values and most under $50k. 

I highly recommend attending real estate networking events to meet more people is this space and pick their brain and learn more from their projects and see what is working and what is not.

Memphis or not, that is very high.

In areas like South DFW, challenges like limited inventory and high prices require creative approaches such as off-market deals, foreclosures, or properties needing updates.

If you are not in a good neighborhood, you will not be attracting great tenants and sharing a duplex with someone can be a highly stressful and unpleasant experience, especially if the structure is not truly conducive to being a duplex.

Such units are painfully in short supply and sky high demand.
