Southern Cali style homes are on the rise in DFW.

I have seen properties convert the radiant heat system to electric board heating style during remodels.

You can get quality guests/tenants for good rates and it can be a very good investing style when done right.

I wanted to be very Dave Ramsay style on my personal property... high down payment (30-5% and only 10 or 15 year loan). 

Lastly when I was newer in the business I was a Land ONLY specialist I sold smaller to larger Ranch style land and depending on where it was and how difficult it was to show standard fee's in those  days was 10% and on some of my deals that were 40 miles of dirt road back into Mendocino National Forest and took someone with my unique skills with maps and compass's to even find the land I charged 20 to 30% commish on those.

No one cares what your style is.

If you want an apartment or townhouse style condo, prices are lower.

All - wife and I, after some discussion about floor plans and styles, are converting it to our personal home. 

For those reasons, I will wait to listen to several episodes before deciding whether his particular style was a good move for this podcast or not.I also love David Greene and Rob Abasolo, as well as the way their individual styles complimented each other in the podcast format. 

If your goal is more FIRE oriented where you 'retire early' - cash flow pretty much has to be a part of that plan the way I see it.For me, cash flow is what justifies the 'daily grind' of being a landlord.
