Hi Joshua,Welcome to the forums.Wishing you the best as you grow your portfolio.

I plan to start by investing in a SFH to get my feet wet and then growing my portfolio from there.

I have been to the DFW area a few times but not specifically to these northern suburbs, but I know that DFW is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country with a robust economy, and I expect it to keep growing.

But, it’s not a business because even if successful, you don’t own the underlying asset, so unless you grow very large you have nothing to sell.  

It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

I'm looking to expand my real estate investments and am looking for a reputable Asset Protection advisor who can assist in growing and protecting my business.

With careful planning and market analysis, Dallas can be an excellent place to grow your portfolio.Good luck!

This is getting very tedious and time consuming.

It was a small $$$ project but time consuming because that was something I DIY'd while living in the property. 

Work your 9 to 5 for several years and in your free time grow your real estate business on the side.
