@Betseat Getachew - If you will explore a little outside of your target area of Dallas and consider Tarrant County as well, you will get much more for your money (Dallas/Tarrant border each other).

In general, markets experiencing high growth are much better bets than those displaying the opposite, and many metro areas possess their own special form of luster.

That would be a display of emotions which has no place in business.

@Russell Brazil too.You will be hard pressed to find a legal multi on the VA side of the border at all. 

GM and Chrysler Headquarters borders the small town, ect. 

Before making the plunge, I highly advise you to consult with a cross-border tax & legal specialist to determine the best entity structure to use.

Credit is an issue across borders and an income in one country while investing in another country makes lenders nervous.If you are really planning on living in FL, I would at least focus on FL if you buy.

Just inside PA on the DE border.

When you add in the ocean and southern border, the reality is you've got half the land supply options most other markets have.That's why RE is so expensive here and why it's likely to continue being so. 

I have had people walk into my open house and ask me if my mom was the listing agent, but there is no better feeling than putting that to rest by displaying a clear and concise understanding of the subject matter.
