Without some background as to debt levels, income/taxation level, asset type, investing strategy, their why etc it is similar to asking what is the best play in football for sure.   

DFW continues to be a strong market for class B/C MF assets where rents are far more affordable for the continuing growth in population and jobs.

To start off I'm thinking about wholesaling properties to other investors and then after I obtain some capitalstart flipping and buying rentals.

I have several family members and some long time customers who have assets in the 7 to 8 figure range who may come into play down the road for private money.

.,  You will need a business license ( free of charge) before you can obtain a rental license. 

If the owner finds out you wholesaled it and made a quick profit, and he tried to sue you, you want him coming after your LLC and not your personal assets. 

Networking is the best way to connect and obtain some good deals.

Also, obtain copies of the current lease agreements, as you will need to honor them until they expire, unless you are able to negotiate a mutual agreement with the tenants to transition over to your rental agreement sooner.

Hi Eric, One of your other options might be to find a performing asset in a local - ish market.

I've been slowing moving more assets to cash, to be in a better place for when assets are available at more profitable prices - things like turning off dividend reinvestment, and slowing down my accelerating of debt repayment in favor of holding the cash.
