I made a few deals in North Dallas.Special assessments and HOA fees are a risk and renting out a condo most likely won't generate much of a cash flow.At $300k with you credit and saving you can still qualified for a loan for sure we have to find the program that works for you.On that budget you could find a nice place no that far from work so you don't have to move far to the suburbs. 

+1 for AirDNA - I recommend using one of their premium monthly subscriptions to explore the actual comps and not just their auto generated projection. 

I'm fairly young with no experience in this but I'm hoping the BiggerPockets community can be kind and lead me in the right direction.

Hi Dave,The topic is 2 years old which you might not have noticed.Closed at a 7 must have been urban core in a highly desirable area.I am seeing trade at a 9 here with no rent bumps in the primary term.For anyone wondering many tenants are credit tenants.There is a huge difference in that INVESTMENT GRADE tenants are BBB- or higher.The ones below that are considered junk status by many lenders which doesn't make them a bad investment just harder to get financing and more to put down.The dollar stores (there are 3 big brand companies nationally) with other smaller regional knock offs are okay as long as you are not buying in obscure rural locations.The fronts are usually brick facade and the sides are sheet metal.You second and third generational tenant will not have the same per sq ft sales they will leaving you with less of a re-rental return.Having said this I have seen some very nice all brick ones where the city required a certain architecture and look to approve the building permits and process.Those typically run 1 million in price to 1.2 versus the cheaper ones in rural areas at 500k to 800k.

Users may decide it's too much trouble and sleep directly on the couch leading to stains. 

This leads to Early Issue Title Insurance being a requirement of the buyer's lender, leading to higher closing costs for the buyer and the seller having to document the following:1.

Solid curtains, water fountain in the backyard, adding trees at the property line nearest the freeway, white noise generators are all other options.

My approach balances both—ensuring that my investments generate income while also appreciating in value over time.
