Do you also use Redfin/Zillow as a starting point? 

Hi @Gil Canfu definitely there are many places in DFW where you can invest in a good rental property.I am not sure where you are at, but if self managed you should start in cities with good proximity to where you live.All the corridor between Princeton to Saginaw has good deals but there are many others things to consider as I mentioned previously.

I am trying to get a hard money loan to start with the BRRR method.

I plan on starting out next year with a small plug and play solution to have minimum risk.

The greatest advice I got from my mentor when I was starting out was to think like I owned a 100 unit portfolio.

@Stuart Udis, I think there is starting to be a bit of a shift here.  

But I'm starting to wonder if and when some appreciation resumes, and if and when market will dictate rent increases.Appreciate any opinions - thanks

Probably starting out small Jaycee - SF or maybe some smaller duplex type properties.

@Derek SoohooIf you're looking to invest in multifamily properties in Chicago, start by researching different neighborhoods to understand rental demand, property values, and landlord regulations.
