@David Dachtera, let me ask you a different question, seeing as we have fundamentally different points of view, contradicting each other is not going to produce anything constructive.What is it that you have gotten out of your association with Renatus that makes you such an enthusiastic proponent?

It is true that a multi unit under $200k will definitely not put you in a good neighborhood, or leave you with an incredible amount of renovation needed.  

I am so incredibly happy and thankful for BP and all the help from people like YOU - because without it I may have found myself with a property with unfavorable returns or settling to understand things I heard like "1% is old school, can't find it anymore" and "that price will be hard to find in this area." 

Yes, I lost 10% over the last year or so like everyone else, but I'm fine with that, because I believe that over a lifetime, my strategy is likely to produce that 10-12% annualized (nominal) real return that index funds have historically provided.This won't work for everyone, but if you can accept that you are doing the statistically right thing with your money, you can swallow that 10% loss, knowing that in the long-run, it will probably be the correct place to park your money.My strategy is simple.

It's really an incredible resource.Note: I forgot to click the disclosure checkbox before hitting done with my post and it's not possible to do here from the edit function.  

It's all adding an incredible number of units that certainly must exceed the demand from the incoming population.

They must be able to produce a comprehensive material & labor breakdown for each item.Use a credible space not just anyone.I assure you based on experience and being an expert in this space, you need to really get a good reference and verify credibility of capacity.

I wasn't convinced, so I tested the motor and it was still producing near the top end of its rating capacity.  

The fact is, Dallas is incredibly diversified, and the single largest sector is actually technology.  

Thank you all for the feedback this helps incredibly.
