You will need to vet them to confirm they are good for your property. 

Never considered it a market to invest in.

I had no idea what to do.

Hello BP,The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a valuable metric to monitor, as it measures inflation from a business perspective (what businesses pay for services/goods) that isn't always reflected in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or "inflation" which is commonly discussed in headlines and among other investors.

Definitely no way to do a full gut rehab or close to that for $50k today.

Then if you still 100K off, I would start dropping the price in a big way to get to an even playing field. 

Now having a trust to avoid probate, care for young children or folks not ready to inherit large sums of money yet are very good reasons to have trusts.

I am looking to invest in some properties in DFW but did not realize how many houses had foundations issues here due to the clay soils. 

Going to local meetups is always the first step! 

Of more concern to me would be the ridiculous investment strategy; the qualification of the sponsors to evaluate these brand investments; whether proper and full disclosure was provided; and the fees and other compensation the sponsor received on invested capital.
