I can do financial modeling with you and talk to other new build investors it's a slow growth plan. build directly at 25% below the market and also identify land too. increase unit counts and get better economies of scale. single family homes will never perform like a three story walk up apartment. we build a stacked triplex in Columbus Ohio with a picture below, if you are set on Dallas look at land prices and see if the economics help. 

I don't think either Southlake or Frisco are good rental markets. 

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $60,000 My initial strategy for this deal was to flip it and sell it, but the market was unfavorable so I opted for the BRRRR strtategy instead.

The high appreciation market will be the higher cash flow market over the hold.  

Just be sure to account for the upfront costs, ongoing maintenance, and market demand to make sure the numbers work for you.Good luck with your decision, and feel free to share updates as you move forward!

So it could take a decade to get to todays market rent. 2) it’s almost impossible if not impossible to non-renew a tenant, especially if you’re not an owner occupant. 3) As a seller, even if I could remove paying tenants I never would without a non-refundable payment from a potential buyer that covers all vacancies for 6 months if they fail to complete the purchase. 4) You MIGHT say as a buyer that’s worth it.

Look at their marketing strategy.

@Joe Frank I’m a huge fan of Turbo Tenant to market properties, manage leads, screen tenants and lease up.

For now, I'm mostly focused on identifying the right markets.

One unit was rehabbed with $15,000 and a new leaseadded at market rent.
