I would love to share my experience and what to look for in a good mentor/coach. 

If you’re in or around Dallas, or share similar interests, I’d love to hear from you!

There is more headache and maintenance than some other strategies, but the ROI to me is worth it.that's awesome- thank you for sharing. 

If you dont have a great team to work with you can lose your shirt even if the house is next door to where you live... there are lots of great areas but only a limited number of great teams so our final choice has always been team driven... saying that we look for an area where there are lots of opportunities  and rental houses available in good areas using the 2 % rule  we found this in Detroit and Toledo  more then willing to share what we do and what we have learnt over the years

@Scott Mac Hi Scott,Thank you so much for taking the time to share your perspective—it’s truly appreciated!

Additionally, many deals tend to fly under the radar, so networking within organizations like NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) can help uncover opportunities.If anyone reading this is considering selling their property management company in Texas, feel free to share—I’m genuinely interested in connecting.

@Owen Rosen the links you shared pretty much only state a tenant shouldn't have to supply liability coverage to their landlord.Of course they will say this as the provider does NOT want the extra liability of covering additional parties!

Happy to share some out of state investing experiences.
