But perhaps you would be better served helping a local experienced investor find deals and ask them to show you exactly how they analyze deals, what's good vs bad, how do they finance (debt vs equity) etc etc and understand their business model that has a proven track record by providing value to them.

If I invested 100K today, they are currently providing anywhere from 60 to 72% passive tax deductions due to cost segregation, depreciation, etc. 

Happy to provide more details.

Denton County offers opportunities in suburban and college town markets, while Grayson County provides affordable entry points with cash-flow potential.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Typically, we conduct background checks on only the individuals who are responsible for the lease (primary resident) and/or cosigners.

Happy to connect and provide you with a list of the local meet ups. my cell and email are below!
