@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I realize I am not cut out for the entire REI process of consistently finding multiple properties for particular exit strategies. 

Best of luck to you.I think @Dominic M. did an amazing job, much better than me, on your post explaining how he would want to see a deal like the one you described.  

Not to mention the economic development steps the town is taking in ensuring the growth of town (roads, schools, zoning) stays on par with the future expected population growth and new jobs that are going to be a result of the new factories opening.  

Additionally, I have $100,000 in cash in the bank, and my monthly expenses for my home and family are around $3,500.My wife earns between $100,000 and $120,000 from her W2 job, while I've recently lost my job but found a new one that pays $65,000 a year.

Typically when people graduate they look for a job and move to the area of the job.

I'm more interested in purchasing 10 homes to have fully paid off by the time I retire, as I'm not living on the cash flow w/ current job. 

I do not flip so I understand your reluctance to want to flip (it’s a job, taxes, selling costs, etc), but it seems like a much better flip than brrrr.  

I really want too help out people and I don't really really like a 9-5 job I want something different.
