I recently moved to the DFW area and want to get involved in real estate in the near future (looking to buy a property in the next 6 months to a year).

Quote from @Duane Williams: We’re a family-owned fix-and-flip company operating in San Antonio, TX, and Northern Virginia, managing everything in-house—from wholesale acquisitions to rehab & construction (with our own project managers and crews) to listing & selling through our licensed brokerage. 

This person can then get you set up with a builder, if necessary, lending, Insurance, and property management.  

We are first time investors in such an entity and the property that is leased is a new construction that is scheduled to be handed over to us by July or August of this year. 

Warning:If you depreciate a property down near zero and then have to sell your property at a loss during a situation of distress...You could end up giving all the proceeds to the bank AND owe the IRS a big chunk of money for recapture.Long-term tax planning with real estate needs to be coupled with risk management and making sure you don't lose any properties.

TYI still know property managers who swear by them.

I will be the one actively managing the property and doing most of the research, and my brother will act as more of an investor.

All my properties (11 total) are in Detroit, Memphis and Seattle and if you want to chat about any of those markets, happy to do so. 

Is RentRedi as easy to use as Avail for posting the listing and managing the listing?
