Inside the loop of 635 and then North Dallas to Collin county the prices probably will continue to go up on the 300K + homes, but these do not make good rentals.  

And rentals will be ruined by tenants so there's no sense putting in nicer features in these properties. 

I had one partner who bought a couple of small trailer parks and then continued to just buy single lots all over the three County area with boxes on them.

If you take into account that rent will continue to increase over the years while your payments remain the same your cash flow will only increase.

You can test to see what is most preferred by adding limited and/or special features along the way to see what tools users will be more likely to gravitate towards.Please note: I'm a newbie at Real Estate, but I'm a long time techie.

I'm excited by the residential and commercial real estate market of Southern California, and want to begin to explore investing while continuing to focus on my career in hospitality operations & sales/branding & entrepreneurship.I focus on opening and building operations and sales systems for event spaces, specifically venues converted from industrial buildings and independent, site-specific hotels and restaurants looking to create or repair revenue streams from weddings, corporate parties, workshops, and in-house programming.

Continued success in the future..

I've read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide and continue to read blogs as able during my commute. 

I had gotten busy building a few other businesses and now want to continue growing my real estate business into something more.

Some relatively simple formulas can make it almost automatic and will suit your needs.If you want to get additional features support, my personal favorite cloud based accounting platform is Xero, but also Quickbooks is extremely popular with lots of customization options.Let me know if you have any other questions.
