I wouldn't suggest paying for Pat Live with a list of 300 leads as they can be pricey and you typically won't get a huge influx of calls from mailing 300 leads. 

So for most typical 1031 exchange property this will not work.Example: Sell stock for $500k capital gain, contribute that into a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund (QOZ Fund) and then either build a new apartment building or buy one for $250k for example and put $250k of renovations into it.Best bet might be new construction if you want real estate.

If you have some questions on anything feel free to call Boo or Logan at our office - those two guys can answer any questions you have to make sure you're getting involved in the right program for you :) And don't worry - they're not your typical commission hungry sales reps, John pays them hefty salaries and they know their  biggest priority is to find out what each person actually needs and see how we can help them so you won't be pressured into anything.

@Naveen Desai Yes, the property taxes are typically 2%-3% in the DFW area.

Typically it is the local building and zoning with a similar rule, repairs of more than 50% are not prohibited, But if the rebuild/renovation cost is more than 50% of the property value then the property must be brought to Current building codes, which may include the floor elevation being raised to current building requirements, which is usually not feasible, cost wise.

I don't have as much of a feel for lot sizes, but it seems like understanding what size lot typically corresponds to what number of bedrooms would let you know pretty quickly if there was room for an addition. 

   - repair is typical for an rental occupied property.My view is:  typical for turnkey properties, low performance, defered maintenance that yoiu'll get hit with typically sooner then later. 

Can anyone in the area share with me the typical time it takes to rent out a house? 

- you typically say "I'm a real estate investor" and then continue to qualify that with how you locate and acquire / syndicate multifamily properties with outside investor money. 

I would discourage you from buying condos as they’re typically really High in HOA fees which is completely outside your control (major negative) and usually not investor friendly.
