I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

I am pretty sure you can not do a 1031 and use the proceeds to do anything to a primary residence.

Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

I am familiar with Firestone park, Goodyear Heights, Fairlawn as pretty solid areas.

Hey Ashley So I would invest in a software like prop stream. you can make a list of landlords pretty easily with a software like that.

pretty tough but who knows give it a try and see what happens

The math for investing was pretty obvious to everybody that it would be hard to lose money by buying a home for 50% to 70% of the rebuild cost.

All of that is pretty cut and dry. 

Texas is pretty quick to foreclose.

I just got my Real Estate license and am pretty happy to have passed on the first try.
