My main objective at the moment is to learn as much as possible about real estate investing and the Dallas markets of Dallas County and Tarrant County in which I plan to focus on.

If the sole objective is the accumulation of capital, keep your living expenses as close to $0 as possible and try to have every dollar earned bring in additional dollars.

let's connect I'm an REO specialist  here in Pembroke Pines 

But, there are active listings in those markets so it truly will come down to finding something that matches your objectives.

Not knowing much about probate I have reached out to a couple of probate specialists and attorneys but before I give out any information I want to tie up the property with the soon to be executor of a probate case to secure my interest.

A 3.5% cash on cash return is not acceptable, given your stated objective. 

You might find an occassionial smsll bank who won't object, but it not a viable business model.We wholesale mostly bank owned properties but we close on them first or do simultaneous closings.

The objective for this property is a buy and hold (cash flow).

Out of curiosity, what exactly is a "Foreclosure Specialist"?

Although we have had a price shock here as a period of fast appreciation has the locals up in arms, the objective demographic picture looks much better.
