My hope is that this will give them a jump start when they turn 18.Well look at that Paul, you just taught this old dog a new trick!

I'm with you...I'm waaaaay over all of the "10 tricks" "10 life hacks" "10 best...." articles out there.

I went actually on the street of the city I wanted to invest in and asked people just walking around about the city, what might rent, etc and found this method to be extremely beneficial I met some local real estate agents walking their dogs that gave me great recommendations and leads just because I asked them.The real estate agent son I met the other day has called my phone and is connecting me with a landlord that I really want to get into contact with for his building who already has tenants airbnbing at his location.I also found a Mentor (simply by asking around), which has offered to teach me all their ways, tips, tricks and so on as long as I help them stage, help them move items and so on.

A helpful trick is to completely ignore the rents the buildng comes with and figure out the actual market rents you can get. 

I do not want to jump on the single because of the time frame and then the right multi fam come up, but I also do not want to miss my opportunity and be forced to continue renting even if its month to month I'd also like to ask you all for any pointers, suggestions, tips & tricks you might offer someone just getting started and working to grow their portfolio.

If y'all have any tips or tricks for a new investor, deals, opportunities or are looking for residential real estate in DFW please keep me in mind.

My friend said his client nearly bailed when she found unexpected wiring issues behind the kitchen walls..apparantly the seller hadn’t touched that electrical since the Reagan era..but with a patient electrician who understood the local code and a carpenter who improvised a shelving trick in the diningrom, they ended up selling above asking.Flipping and building can get tricky, especially once you start thinking bigger.

The real trick is making sure you’ve got a handle on who’s active in your target area.
