I'm still new to the game and looking to learn more about how to successfully invest out of state, but happy to talk about my experience so far.

Say you are at your kids soccer or baseball game and you have to leave to tend to an emergency - is that worth the $50M?

Thank you in advance,CarlinThere really isn't anything you do to get into the section 8 game. 

Or is it just a waiting game?

Welcome to the game.

Real estate is a slow game, so if you want to get somewhere, it's important you keep walking consistently in the same direction.

@Anthony VargasFor vacant insuranceI currently use Arcana and if you connect with a REIA group that is a part of National REIA they have some of the best prices ever.I have also used APIA and found them to be the easiest to work with, despite arcana being 100 percent auto,ate and instant access once set up.Also in the game is NREIGAll insure nationally.Your local REIA group might have standard national insurance companies that broker a few other products for your vacant houses.

Underwriting (AKA Analysis) is the most important aspect of the game.

Dallas looks generally very expensive-- are there any tips/tricks that people are using to still get a lot out of the game here?

This is not a game you want to go into unprepared or take lightly, since you're up against the SEC.
