Maybe a little on the Class A multi family properties, but if you are in the $1,200-1,700 price point on a duplex or SFH, I think you will find a healthy and consistent number of perspective tenants.Look, I agree the massive run in Dallas price appreciation is getting late in the tooth, but I don't see it dropping 20%, too many people are moving to the area every year.And, don't forget Dallas is a finalist for Amazon, and the city council just had a closed door meeting that some speculate was about Amazon. 

Thanks for the insight @Shayan Malayeri, really put things into perspective.

From the renters perspective, I know having a hard floor of some type is preferred if a bottom story unit.

But from my perspective, if I paid off my car loan, I would eliminate a payment of $379/month, which is likely more than I would get in cash flow from a rental property I put $20K down on.

@Steven McCutcheon,  that's an interesting perspective -- appreciate you sharing! 

I'd recommend getting more liability insurance.From a repairs perspective, I've had 2 properties with pools. 

As a matter of fact it is a rather poor measure of return.Consider another look at “cap rate” from a valuation perspective (i.e. also called “market cap rate” which @Brent Coombs casually mentioned above).

@Jay Hinrichs Very true...I think that's one self-critique I'd have as well in that I prob don't spend enough time thinking about things from the other party's perspective (see impatience above) or trying to figure out what is most valuable to them. 

I would like to know the process of evicting someone who has a service animal. Is that any different than the normal process? Late rent, not pay rent, noise disturbance from excess barking in the building, etc all leg...

Gotta keep the perspective!
