Of course, you have to do all a very in-depth due diligence yourself and and pick the company that fits your needs the best.

I briefly glanced at your company 'Archer Investor' and will look into more depth tomorrow.  

I can make a guess, but we can take it to private messages to go really in-depth if you want.

It offers practical advice, diverse market insights, and inspiring stories through interviews with successful investors, in-depth discussions on various investment strategies, and listener coaching calls.

It's still a work in progress and we need to research the areas in depth, but I thought I'd share them with you all.We're after places where a newbie like me can get started, especially through house hacking.

@Ricky Rodriguez  This is an in-depth response, but I have in-depth experience on this, so here goes...I’ve house hacked numerous properties (and also done BRRRR’s, STRs, ADUs, and pretty much every other residential REI strategy), and I can say from experience that house hacking is the BEST strategy for new investors getting started (check out my other forum posts about what makes house hacking such a good strategy).As I’ve said many times before, house hacking is generally easier than the more advanced REI strategies (like BRRRR’ing, STRs, flips, etc.), but that doesn’t mean house hacking is necessarily easy.

@Yang ZengYour situation presents a common dilemma for real estate investors: deciding between investing locally where you might be more familiar with the market but face high property prices, or exploring out-of-state opportunities where properties may be more affordable but come with their own set of challenges.Here are some considerations:Risk Tolerance: Take into account your degree of comfort and risk tolerance while managing properties remotely.Objectives: Specify your investing objectives, including cash flow, appreciation, or a combination of the two.Market study: To fully grasp the development potential, employment opportunities, and rental demand of prospective out-of-state markets, do in-depth market study.Hybrid Strategy: Another option is to choose a hybrid strategy, where you invest in a combination of local properties for stability and simpler management, and you set aside some of your portfolio for out-of-state properties for diversity.Before making a decision, it's essential to consult with real estate professionals, conduct in-depth market research, and possibly network with local investors in the markets you're interested in.Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and the best strategy depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and personal preferences.

Here are some considerations for investing in a duplex in the Dallas area and potential alternatives:Investing in a Duplex:If you rent out one property, you can possibly create positive cash flow by partially offsetting your living expenditures.If you're an investor with limited funds, duplexes could be a more accessible alternative because they may have lower entry expenses than bigger multifamily properties.Perform in-depth market research in the Dallas region to pinpoint communities that have high demand for rentals and good prospect for real estate growth.Take a look at owner-occupant-friendly financing choices including FHA loans, which frequently have less down payments.Make sure you have a well-defined escape plan.

I don't know his in depth numbers, but I'd venture to guess he made over 50% cash on cash. 

Confident as I am in my ability to manage the projects, I simply don't have the depth of market knowledge or transaction experience to do my own deal sourcing (yet!).
