I'm new to Dallas, and I'm just now putting my foot in the water in terms of real estate investing.  

In terms of discussing deals, that's one of the purposes of BP. 

In terms of other Chicago investors, is there anything in particular you know now that you would have done differently before in running a multi-unit building you own?  

What we see there are being "hot" is the lower inventory and the increasing property prices.We are seeing rent-to-value ratios dropping slightly making the invest returns lower, but it is still a very good market economically and in terms of investment-grade properties.As a side, we've found that a number of our 1031 Exchange clients end up buying there for some reason.What is clear is that it's a Seller's market in San Antonio today.

It looks like it is not a big concern in terms of building code.

How hot or cold an area is should have little weight in your decision except in terms of a city that you choose to buy in.

I look at those things, think about how close they are to a house in terms of maintenance and how little value they add, and all I can see is a great big dumpster or two as the appropriate solution.

Hi Dan, I’ve been using Cozy for about 6 mo and it’s nice for keeping things organized in terms of rent collection, vacancy listings, and expenses.

I ended up doing both and the unit is now orders of magnitude much better in terms of airflow and heating time.

They would rather work for themselves so they can make their own decisions but otherwise think of their pay in terms of daily / weekly income, just like people in the trades do.There's pluses and minus working with each of these.
