Hi @Bryce Cover,First, congratulations on your growing family and your successful real estate investment so far!

It did fantastic and I parlayed the profits into growing the business I have today.But that was 2016. 

Atlanta is a strong multi-family market with a diverse economy, a growing population, and increasing demand for rental properties.

Whether it be a submarket that is still growing or a property that needs some love and investment.

I have been to the DFW area a few times but not specifically to these northern suburbs, but I know that DFW is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country with a robust economy, and I expect it to keep growing.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

The key is velocity—keep your money moving and growing.

You are in Texas, and it will continue to grow, so you are in a great spot. 

Imagine making millions of dollars over the course of your career and then having to pay 30-50% every year to uncle sam instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they just buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

The 10 acres are about 90% planted pine (the previous owner planted it).
