Hi Karen, see my web site for instructions on basic steps for development/contractor selection, etc.

Moore and Norman have decent school systems but I don't know what the selection is like there.

Once you figure this out you will be better positioned to select a market and asset type that best suits your goals and resources.

This is assuming you purchase about 11 (roughly $60k-$70k) properties and use some of the funds for closing costs.If you were patient and selective you could potentially even increase the monthly income a bit.Just my take, and it's fairly specific to my area.

So I’m between selecting an FHA loan with a 203 and making this property a duplex right away.

I reached out and selected the best investor friendly realtor I could find to help view the properties on my behalf and provide me with any listings that met my criteria. 6.

While I'm sure that the answer to this question is "whatever fits your criteria for your personal goals", I'm curious to know what peoples' selection process looks like when choosing neighborhoods to D4D.First, I'm sure you narrow it down to the divisions in your price range, but then what?

Seems you should select a few turnkey providers and get to know them.

If you have a high or medium asset you will be fine as you will have ample selection of pms so taking a little time to vet shouldnt be too bad.
