While my husband and I both have decent middle class incomes, with 2 kids and a house, there isn't a tremendous amount left to save, and it feels like a big mountain to climb.

Heavy tax deductions :)Credit score over 750Cash available for down payment: $50,000 Looking to invest in Dallas - Fort Worth area - class B property preferably I was wandering if you guys know of some creative financing ideas for my situation.

And as an A class property (and a condo) your actual expenses will be pretty close to PITI + HOA.

With that class of property, i.e. rental rates ~$500/month, your property manager is going to make or break the deal.

If you buy turnkey in a lower class neighborhood, then your return could be higher.Good Luck!

I know plenty of investors who love these C/D class neighborhoods in Baltimore specifically because of the cash-flow.  

If the state doesn’t get their political act together and/or the decreasing middle class continue to move out in droves, we’re all toast up here.

That quickly transitioned into a full-time position as an analyst with the same company, while I worked on finishing school at night / Saturday morning classes / whenever I could knock out classes.

What class rentals would you say are around there?

What size (single family, small multifamily, etc), what class (A,B,C, or D), and what location.
