About 1.5 years ago, I purchased (conventional loan) and have been living in a 3x3.5 townhouse with a family member (brother) in a first attempt to start building equity through a house hack/BRRR strategy. 

Hi everyone,I am starting to build my section 8 portfolio in Baltimore and would be keen to meet any like minded individuals or groups to share any stories or ideas.tim

Make sure that they know the area and build a relationship with them.

However - my job is very high paying so I will look to build savings and start making my first purchases.  

The "For Sale" sign and phone number were posted on the front of the building, nowhere else.

Here are a few tips for managing a rental in the DFW area:Screen Tenants Thoroughly: Conduct background and credit checks to ensure reliable tenants.Understand Local Laws: Familiarize yourself with Texas landlord-tenant laws to avoid legal issues.Maintain Good Communication: Establish clear communication channels with your tenants.Keep Up with Maintenance: Regular maintenance can prevent larger, more costly issues.Consider Eviction Procedures: Be prepared for potential evictions.

The new builds in the outskirt towns are fine and if you buy with a primary loan, you can get a great interest rate.

or build a network?  

This also applies to land sellers that have buyers who plan on building or placing a home on the property.

Build rapport.
