I won't say never, but 1% rule on small multifamily in DFW is so rare, I probably wouldn't even dream of that in today's market.

I've compared the prices to Pipedrive and other software I've used in my current profession, and it's been enlightening.I'm targeting property owners with high equity who have held their property for 15-20 years or more, and ideally with some kind of lien or code violation attached.I've heard that direct mail campaigns can be very effective, though I find that cold calling has always worked best for me in my line of work.

-Think about what asset class you want to go into as well, whether you are doing a short-term rental, mid-term rental, or long-term rental, you can also use up 75% of the rent income from the separate unit if you do decide to go into multifamily, this could make it easier to qualify for a small multifamily property.

California is known to be small. we have a group we work with who does land entitlement with us in columbus and they do it in 8 markets and the fastest is here. not because it's columbus but because we explore this strategy to fast track development deals through rezoning and highest and best use entitlement

But researching for an investment property the rabbit hole pulls me in all different directions.
