Looking to dive into the DFW real estate market.Can anyone recommend a real estate agent and any private/hard money lenders?

The main neigborhoods I am looking at now are East Atlanta Village, Adair Park, Old Fourth Ward, and Grant Park due to the fact that these areas are in my price point and I believe they are on the rise, but I want some data to prove that before I just dive in.  

(pick a scenario; busted pipe, late rent, late night maintenance call, etc)Who do you use for maintenance?

I've also purchased a property through foreclosure that could have easily supported the debt on it but was managed so poorly that the owner couldn't keep it.I personally would feel comfortable with as much as 60% of my income going to debt service, however that would not be ideal - 50% or less keeps me happy and sleeping well at night.  

I want to really dive in headfirst and get the ball rolling. 

When you find a topic that resonates with you dive in a bit deeper.

For all I know, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping review our finances nightly.

People can pull up a truck and in one night vacate the space.

I did get late night calls about the quad, to get the kids truck un-stuck from the back yard where he progressively slipped on wet grass and was messing up the septic field, which was already at functional risk for the old property.
