Any leads, potential investors, or anyone looking to talk shop, please reach out!

I live in a lower-income area, so I figure that the better tenants you will get with a safe house, the ongoing safety the tenants feel, and the lowered risk of a break-in (when occupied or vacant getting ready to lease), and reduced headaches/vacancy/potential damage are worth the marginal up-front cost of having it installed.

Investing in  2-4 unit properties within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex would be ideal but I am also interested in other potential deals, that fall within the 2-4 unit range. 

My question is do I go forward with purchasing the property and deal with the higher insurance and potential hazard or is it smarter to walk away?

Potentially even visa versa since putting a few short term rentals would immediately generate some income and then sell off the parcels either with or without an income producing rental already in place.

Start by attending real estate meetups, BiggerPockets forums, and local investor groups to connect with potential partners.

@Marc Anthony MacielIf you're diving into house hacking and multifamily investing in Southern California, you’ll want to focus on markets like Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and Long Beach—areas with strong rental demand and solid appreciation potential.

If you’re open to discussing potential deals or just networking, feel free to drop a comment or send me a message!

We’re looking for Excel models to compare these options and calculate potential net worth in both scenarios.

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.
