Mark does not care for Brokers   LOL.... 

Property taxes $3,611...run through the numbers and you will see it's all an appreciation play...since you will only cover monthly expenses with a lot down...With respect to appreciation...at these numbers I am thinking more about selling then buying...other house we bought for office/rental up 15% per year in two years since we bought it...feels great, but makes me nervous...If you are interested in short term rentals be sure to check with the City, as they are only allowed if more than 250 feet from another short term rental, so westside, near the river are locked out...That said, if you do decide to invest here pick areas carefully.

@Grant Dennis I would be careful in buying from the listing agent.

https://whotv.com/2018/03/23/dallas-county-again-f...I do think we (those that are investing in DSM) need to be careful to not 'drink the cool aid' but at the same time - the original link you provided does not paint the picture that I'm used to hearing/seeing. 

You can also pick up a great deal on the mls if the seller chose more of an inexperience broker and just listed it like a traditional SFH. 

It helps when tenants pay all utilities, garbage, and lawn care. 

The county said they could care less what I do. 

Most contractors are good men and women who are true craftspeople and care about their clients.

Some listings say it has a 2 care garage detached but no pictures. 

I don't represent clients anymore but those investors/agents that wear both hats have to be careful when going on a listing appointment with the intention of acting as a fiduciary, then switching over to wear the investor hat.
