Hi, Anthony, yes, I have had a lot of trouble with DM returning incorrect data - wrong owner or owner not found, wrong or no mailing address, very few sale dates, and now when I filter on lead status, it does not return all leads with that status.

It needed a rehab, and I just couldn't afford it. 

You can force appreciation by rehabbing and such - so that might be a shorter term way to go?  

There is so much MORE work involved as opposed to buying a fixer-upper and rehabbing that!

Study what kind of properties sell, for how much, and what kind of tenants live there.Think with a 10year+ vision, but a decently sound property (not a 1900 single family conversion that is begging for a full gut rehab), and but in the RIGHT location. 

We roll 100% of rehab costs into the loan package with 4 draws for licensed contractors.

I would get a bridge loan to acquire the property if it needs to be rehabbed and/or closed quickly.

Any house here that's sub $100k, on or off market, is going to be so bad it will need $30-75k in rehab.

New builds, new developments, plenty of rentals within driving distance of the city center, and there are still plenty of areas where a good eye for a rehab job will get you a good ROI.

I am currently looking to Purchase and Rehab a House in the North Dallas and DFW areas.I am eager to Network with fellow Investors and Professionals in the area to explore Opportunities for Collaboration.
