In neighborhood it is very important to present your self to the home owner next to you, this helps a lot to prevent misunderstandings. also this shows your professionalism.

I’m looking to expand my network and connect with other investors, realtors, and real estate professionals—especially those who are growth and collaboration-oriented.

The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck! 

To me the biggest takeaway is that as real estate professionals, we always talk about location, location, location.

And the Professional plan is a great space for seasoned vets who need a robust system where their team can work through the entire acquisition process. 

Will they "check themselves" from bad behavior when they see a professional company with professional services, legally reviewed lease, etc. managing their day-to-day?

I attempted to engage in professional discussions with you on here when I did work for RADD and represented them (Dutch) in a professional manner, you had no desire to do so other than to continue to post.   

That said, I highly recommend speaking with a local professional in the DFW area to get insights tailored to your specific goals.

Stay professional in all communication.
