We have bought quite a few houses in that price range, and closing costs have never been over $1000.

and most importantly that I lack the network to find the deals like finding the right broker who actually invest in fourplex not just any  regular agent.I appreciate you taking the time to reply...In mid range prices, Dallas is more or less 100% price dependent on vacancy rate outside of turns.We more or less have been a week or less on our last half dozen turns. 

Are these luxury properties pulling in a proportionally better ROI than the mid to lower range properties?

@Miguel Ochoa Borrow somewhere between the most you can get, and the least you can get by with.Where  you fit in that range depends on your overall financial situation and your risk tolerance. 

Personally, I will be making my first deal in the first half of the year but I am having a hard time deciding what kind of price range and area to start with.

We have also looked into hiring property management, but we live in a rural area and although these companies exist near us we have found that their average occupancy rate is in the 70-80% range, where last year my occupancy was 95%. 

Rant = on {Directed at anyone = No.The 'paying money for an investment that may or may not appreciate in value' phenomenon, referred to as "feeding the alligator" many decades ago, is not unique to real estate.

It may be that your current residence makes a uniquely terrible rental.

We just made an offer on a 37 pad park with 7 POH's and our initial offer was 11% CAP rate on the NOI and shell value for the homes which range from 91-01'.
