My question, would you stay focused on Seattle where we live currently, know the market well and I also have my real estate license in WA but finding a deal under a mil, seams almost impossible and could take awhile or focus on a new market like (Mckinney/ Allen/ Frisco / Plano areas) learn the market and buy our first multi family there since it's so much more affordable.

I have experience in the Katy, McKinney, Plano, Frisco, Allen and Austin area.  

I am primarily located in McKinney, but I am always looking for SFs in Plano, Allen, Frisco, and Garland.

We can always meet somewhere in the Plano or FW after work.

My name is Adam Hendrik and I am from the DFW area, currently residing in Plano, TX.

Plano seems to pretty expensive so I hope you bought something in demand and has good Cerberus appeal.

If you are around it is a great opportunity to network with some other BP members.If you are interested in coming the event can be found at www.biggerpockets.com/events when you search Plano.

I would like to get local opinions on whether I may realistically find this in the current market or if I may need to adjust what I’m looking for:I would like to buy a 2-4 unit property in the Dallas area (Coppell, Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Richardson, Plano, North Dallas, or Irving north of 114 -or maybe 183).

I am sure you have done some due diligence online but here are some reads on water heaters in Irving. http://westplumbing.net/plano-plumbing-tips/irving...http://westplumbing.net/plano-plumbing-tips/dallas...Notice that the Dallas article says that FVIR heaters do not need to be elevated but not sure if the same applies for Irving or not.

Im originally from Plano.
