In other words, I wouldn't generally look at townhouses, if I were targeting a hybrid strategy where I was going to sell in just a few years.Davidson is a fantastic area.

It may be a niche worth looking into, but it can be costly if there's not enough demand for it in your target area

But I'd like to target this question to a more narrow population and I really hope there's some of you out there...If you are/were self-employed (and have employees under you, and possibly share ownership with partners), how do/did you invest in real estate at the same time and/or ultimately transition into real estate full time?

There are some very specific areas of the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex that are excellent targets for buy & hold investing. 

I am interested in commercial real estate primarily and multifamily properties secondary, so my model will be to target on the residential side 2 - 4 family properties and on the commercial 4 unit + apartments, office and retail spaces.

A Google search on some of these yielded more information and some led me to web sites where it appeared like I could find a phone contact or other "identification" as to who the owner might be.
