If you take a look at my previous post, I am brand new to real estate investing, although I have had a great career in both the creative and technology industries in NYC.I'm currently looking to purchase a single or multi family unit as a long term rental, and am exploring 4 markets - DFW being one of them.After a healthy amount of research, I am ready to dive more into the area, and would love to first connect with realtors who have a lay of the land (no pun intended), or anyone else who has a few minutes to shed some advice on what you're seeing in the area.Looking forward to connecting.Dylan you can still buy lots for sub 100k and we can put 3-4 units stacked on a .1 acre parcel with density of around 30-40 dwelling units through what's called a council use variance. takes a bit longer than buying but we build with 20% equity typically and target lots based on that price range.

The electric company remounted the entrance cable, but told me I am responsible for repairing the damage to the feeds and meter bases. 

It’s all based on the numbers and your long-term goals.

He's bought over a dozen single family properties over the years (for vacation homes mostly) and he said every single time he just called the listing agent directly and got it done.I know most people generally frown upon this because the buyer agent is supposed to help get a better price, negotiate based on issues w/the house, etc.

Hey @Robert Johnson, so 3k net cash flow is doable but that will be based on your purchase price.
