I live in Plano.

All the cities below, I've personally bought deals in that would meet or beat the 2% rule.Where you will rarely if ever find these deals- Most suburbs north of 635; Plano, Frisco, McKinney, etc; again those areas are better for doing retail rehabs OR leveraged rentals- Also, any "newer" area with homes over $100k will rarely be viable for these dealsWhere you can find them fairly easily; these deals are usually NOT found on the MLS; they tend to be lower middle class and older middle class areas- Older parts of Grand Prairie, Irving & Arlington (central DFW)- Older parts of Mesquite (eg W of 635) and Garland- Older parts of Forney- Other suburbs; Everman, White Settlement, Burleson, Waxahachie and many more that are not too far out (I'd say Greenville, Sherman/Denison, etc would count, but they are not really part of the Metroplex so I do not factor those into the equation)Working class neighborhoods / urban areas in Dallas or Fort Worth; these deals can sometimes be found on the MLS, but the best deals are off-MLS deals- Pleasant Grove- South Oak Cliff- Various spots around Dallas Where you can find them all day long; these are areas you might call war zones...but I call them areas "that are improving" ;)- Fair Park- West DallasHopefully that helps!

I am a Software Engineer here in Plano, TX and have been doing that for over 20 years.

I live in Desoto, work in Plano, and play basketball in Fort Worth so anywhere along that line is good for me :).

Does anyone have any info on a good REIC in the Plano area?
