Your criteria will depend on whatever you value most, population trends are a good indicator of what to look for.

Do you plan on renting out your current house or house hacking it? 

For most people a house hack is a great start. 

Hey Anthony, Welcome back to the BP community.Congrats on your first house hack .Wishing you continued success and looking forward to connecting.

If you buy a house, you have to care for it.

I am looking to invest in some properties in DFW but did not realize how many houses had foundations issues here due to the clay soils. 

I'm in a unique situation in that my uncle has "given" me his old house after he relocated to be closer to his siblings.  

I started in house hacking 10 years ago and it's been an amazing journey!

I always am amazed when someone selling a $600,000 house brings me a listing agreement where they agreed to pay a stranger $30,000 to list their house for sale and they didn't even read the agreement much less spend the $250 to have a lawyer tell them that yes, if they sell it to their cousin during the listing period they still have to pay the $30k.

I tell people that if they don't have a net worth to buy their dream house in cash then they aren't ready to buy their dream house. 3.
