While I think there are always deals in every market, I don't think now is the time to jump into the Dallas market.I have walked thru a lot of houses that I think are being offered at nosebleed prices, especially from wholesalers.Be careful with DFW, high property taxes and high property insurance. 

At this point, I'm learning the previous tenants were evicted and the place needs work (cleaning, various small neglected issues)Late June: PM/ seller finally got plumbing/ HVAC follow ups, but there was no documentation or report.

Simple measurements, plumbing stacked on multiple levels when available.

We are closing on our second rental property next week and I was looking for some advice when it comes to a Landlord Insurance Policy. 

It could be it's one of a small percentage of co-ops that does allow investors and there are too many units rented, or the sponsor still owns too many units, or it could be the reserves are too low, or not enough insurance, or a lawsuit, etc.

As the owner of a plumbing company here in San Diego, I'm definitely more sensitive to asking for free advice from busy professionals while I'm still deciding if this market even makes sense.

Take for example the following:Rental Property that is for sale near where I live:$80,000 property that doesn't need any repairs (essentially turn-key that I will self-manage) - $900 rent $16,000 down with $2,000 closing costs - Total All-In: $18,000Assuming 5% vacancy, $1,000 in taxes, $800 for insurance, 5% for maintenance, and a buffer of $200 a month, I would cash flow roughly $3,300 a year.https://www.calculator.net/rental-property-calcula...I've been around this forum to know that people will say things like 'well your vacancy/taxes/capex is way too low.'

ok so NO I DO NOT think you should consider buying this home.... first of all i think your numbers are off, insurance on $500K home is way more than $50 a month...also you will need 20% ($90,000) for down payment if purchase price is 450,000......then you also need to consider other expenses like vacancy, repairs, property management (even if you self manage)..... as your first deal this is way too much risk for negative cash flow and the hopes of appreciation........if its still sitting on the market, then its over priced....... an appreciation play is not a smart first investment IMO

The drywall and carpet needs to be replaced (at a minimum).We were carrying force-placed insurance.
