Dear Tamiel, I am pretty confident about what you said about Dallas but I was born and raised there and still live in Dallas County and I have lived in Dallas County for 60 years except when I went to college in Denton for about 5 years.  

(note: I was born at Lakeland Gen. and graduated high school in Lkld.) 

I've received all kinds of different advice on how to start so I would love some recommendations for great companies/agents in this area.Just a little about me; I was born and raised in Southern California (Hermosa, Redondo, Torrance area) and have experience as a leasing agent at a property management company for the last 7 months.  

Even though I'm born and raised in SoCal my heart belongs to Denver (at least as far as football goes)

Nightmare...lol I echo @Stephanie Cabral and wholeheartedly agree with @Jeff OnofrioThe first question to ask your lender is "how many end to end 203Ks loans have you done since you were born?"

I was born and raised in Dallas Texas and still live in Dallas County.  

I was born and raised in Spokane and lived in the Seattle area for many years for college etc.

I was born in Michigan but raised in Mexico.

I'm just jumping into the real estate game myself, local here in Tampa (born and raised) and also went to undergrad in Lakeland (Florida Southern).

As a born/raised northside guy and broker, I’d be happy to assist if you’d like any guidance...or even just a chat!
