I am keeping an eye out for what will transpire in the next 1-2 months

I do have a transactional funding company I'm eyeing to work with recommended by an attorney.

It's funny that the article calls it a "race to the bottom" because I always thought, at this scale, a minor hiccup would catch these companies with their pants down. 

I figured there was a catch, now we know.

Thanks for catching the insurance..should be comparable to the PMI which wouldn't be needed for bank financed with the down payment.- Dustin 

We always keep and eye out on Salem & Swampscott and even put offers in at each location last year but Salem went for well over asking and Swampscott we were close. 

Just keep an eye out for the VA funding fees. 

You’ll have easy access to get to the property to keep an eye on the contractors (if you’re going that route).

You will need to have a title company on stand-by to run light title to catch any liens not disclosed by the sheriff's auction and you need an investor-friendly RE agent who can run comps on the properties going up for auction.

Hey everyone,New to the forum, though I've been trying to get educated on real estate investment for a little while now.I've been living in the North DFW area, more specifically Coppell, for a couple years now.I'm getting about ready to make the jump towards my first investment property.I guess I was just hoping to maybe network with local investors to get some feedback on my current thought process.Not really looking for a BRRR, though I'm not 100% against it either.As of now, plan looks like:$250k SFH around Coppell / Southlake /Flower Mound / Grapevine (keeping an eye on Lewisville / The Colony / Roanoke as well).Really appreciate all the available resources on here.Amazingly helpful.Stay safeManu
