New to DFW and I would love to hear your advice.We concentrate on buy & hold, typically 150K - 200K PP, at least 1,000 sqft.In which areas do you think we can enter the market?

I'm just not finding anything available or currently on the market that I would want to live in myself.

The property currently has a tenant who is paying below market rent at $850 per month.

They are relocating and we are unfamiliar with the market.

Is it just this market that is bringing fear or has it always been this way?

WI is a big market. 

Any advice on most efficient and costly ways to obtain marketing lists in S.

@Dave Rav - I agree with the others that there is no really good way to estimate insurance costs, but I've found some consistency within a particular market/zip code if the rebuild costs and deductibles are the same.

If not, and if these are homes that are in a market where dispositions are not too daunting you are likely best served selling these homes and re-investing in properties that can lead to additional equity.  

I'm thinking about ramping up my marketing and having agents send me deals with their criteria.
