We are looking in areas in Texas primarily on east of Dallas to Tyler.

Dallas, Fort Worth, Boston, Las Vegas, Baltimore, and Louisville, KY are on the 2017 list.

To all my investors, bankers and market watchers! What DFW metroplex surrounding city do you think is the hottest to invest in RIGHT NOW? Going into winter time the numbers really matter.

Looking to network

I am using different tactics on sites that show MLS listings to find flip opportunities.I got the idea after watching Jerry Norton and others on YT who find many of their deals "on market" by conducting online research on sites such as Zillow, Redfin etc.I am pretty experienced with excels and numbers and can cover a whole city in a few hours and find the best opportunities.I don't have a physical presence (I live in Israel), so I can't validate my rehab estimates by actually looking at the property.Here's my methodology:Finding properties whose $/sqf is significantly below the average of that neighborhood.Checking renovated comps.Estimating the rehab cost by looking at the pictures (this is what you will need to validate).I look for other indicators such as time on the market, usually >60 days, and for consecutive price reductions.I calculate for what target purchase cost + rehab we can get 70% of ARV.If the target cost is anywhere near the asking price, the lead is valid and can be sent for further evaluation with somebody in the area.I have limited experience with a partner in Dallas who showed interest but I still didn't get a confirmation from him if he is actually going to close any of my leads.I would love to know if you think there are "on market" opportunities and this method can actually find them?

Daily rentals are too seasonal and will be one of the first to go down if the economy ever doesI tend to know what I comment because I was a licensed real estate broker in Texas (around Dallas) for about 30 years and a construction manager for about 30 years too.

I'm looking to narrow initially to 5-7 realtors with 10+ years experience in Dallas.
