I would suggest taking the route of option 2 or 3, so not only are you saving over 10k in rent per year but the residents help in paying down the debt.

hello harrison whom would you suggest for BRRRR properties in dfw?

I would suggest buying without value add only if you were going to keep the property at least 10 years. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-diego/real-estateI think your plan to rent in San Diego is likely the correct choice especially as you get to know the area. 

Would love to hear people’s suggestions or thoughts. everyone’s so amazing in their responses and I really appreciate everyone’s thoughtful feedback!  

The longer it stays in the same taxpayer name before changing it, the better.I would also suggest you speak to your CPA before making any decisions.

I suggest the buyer at least get an estimate of the potential tax savings. 

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best of luck, but again, I suggest hiring a professional. 

For example, one poster above suggested you should use short cuts like NOI/price to figure out a the cap rate and if the cap rate is too low you don’t look into it any further.

He or she could have suggestions for those you might talk to you.
