In areas like South DFW, challenges like limited inventory and high prices require creative approaches such as off-market deals, foreclosures, or properties needing updates.

Systematize as much as possible to create scalability.PM is a challenging but rewarding business.

I relate with knowing I want to build my real estate portfolio but feeling overwhelmed with how to choose a market (I live in Seattle which is similar to CA with regards to the price to rent ratio challenges), so I wanted to share my current plan.

If I were you, I would arrange to have your materials removed before they get there to work because city guys are pretty rough on stuff they have to move.We occasionally found issues like the corner of houses built in the easement and sometimes on top of a water or sewer line.

When you are consistently above 820, you may occasionally hit 850.    

The challenge is I don't where you are but how is the soil?

Drop the arrogant attitude when challenged, drop the canned responses, and actually address the comments or questions themselves4.

Challenges?
