I also took on project on my duplex so I was able to learn how to do household repairs and learn what larger products cost.

Population is just about 100,000, median household income is a little over $30,000.

I really don't have time to be dicked around by bunch of tenants that can't even get their own household in order. 

My wife is currently a medical resident and in 4 years she will be a doctor, at which time our household income will likely go from 220k to around 400k. 

Median household income wise, DFW is also highest at 2.83% annually compared to Houston (2.55%) and SA (1.54%).

I am not talking about coming up with the downpayment but rather regards to mortgage affordability.If I wanted to buy a second property with the same household income, how would it work?

I ask for Monthly income, number of people in household, approximate credit score, pets, have you ever been evicted.

Is the median household income in the area on the rise?
