It's not easy in DFW right now due to the price runups over the past few years and now slowdown in the market.What price range do you want to be in?

Follow up with a certified letter so there’s a record of your request.

I intend to rent out the units by room to college students (does it sound like this would work in this area and what are some general tips/things I should look out for?).

Everyone associated with living there and/or paying for the unit goes on the lease.

So I disputed the additional charge. 

Some will be ok in 2nd position and some will not and force you to refinance out the first - but those are options that are probably cheaper than credit cards 

Cashflow and the ability to use the property.

Hey @Nsimba Gansa, great to see you join the BiggerPockets community!

And of course the appreciation can come a few ways if rents really rocket up.. but most rents in low value assets stay pretty stable and or there is major re gentrification like we experienced in Charleston SC .
