Proceed cautiously with this company. 

Purchase price: $47,000 Cash invested: $7,000 Sale price: $85,000 This acquisition was especially sentimental to me because I have so many childhood memories on this street.

After reading this thread, a few comments come to mind over this common A or B decision.Without knowing how much it is (no need to say) makes my advice (or more accurately, my opinion) more general in nature but here it goes:Lending has very little to no tax shelters whereas buy and hold does.

This is a very operator dependent answer.

All North DFW has the highest appreciation while South DFW will be giving you the better cash flow.If this is your first rodeo, then I would suggest to be close home if you are also planning to self-manage.Then the age of the properties and access to highways.

yes this is/was a perspective like question, so thanks for asking.

I look forward to engaging and learning a lot from this community.God Bless! 

Sometimes this works to your advantage and in other instances it makes these properties obsolete. 

Most of the prospects offering this to us, disappear when we tell them they still have to go through our full application & screening process. - We almost feel sorry for the foolish/naive DIY landlord that inevitably falls for their sob story and accepts them.We have had 2-3 that have gone through our process and so we accepted their multi-month payment.

Excited to see where this journey takes you!
