What I can tell you is overall it is a solid market both by characteristics that are important to me in evaluating markets (strong economic growith / momentum for the city, diversity of business, high amount of renters, low property taxes compared to purchase price, solid neighborhoods with tenant quality etc) as well as it is a market that I believe over time the long term will have small but steady price appreciation.  

I have seen it posted here and it's worth repeating: If you find good, quality, off-market deals, you will have no problem finding a buyer.

Just depends on the location and quality of tenants you'll be dealing with.

We will rehab the property to it’s peak condition using quality materials bought @ huge discount thru established relationships with various vendors.

Personally, I choose to not accept Section 8 due to the quality of tenant and the regulation and complexity of the contracts. 

And yes the largest house in the neighborhood, often a problem, I understand the extra footage is cheap but square foot pricing ignores the lot and quality of the construction basically and for that reason I like to basically ignore it because it is not truly accurate.

Make sure they are quality deals that leave room for the investor to profit. 

But, you need quality work and a good reputation.....it pays off.

Plus I've realized that with my time and attention split how many different ways, my quality and attention to detail is lacking in all areas of my life.

Parts of the Dallas/Ft Worth area have very high sand content to the soil, and much of the southern part of Dallas county is mostly what we call white rock.Jon is also right about the fact that better quality developments have the home foundations engineered to deal with the soil realities from the beginning.Again, it's common in Texas, but it is NOT every house over a certain age, nor is it every house within a certain area.
