Maybe a little on the Class A multi family properties, but if you are in the $1,200-1,700 price point on a duplex or SFH, I think you will find a healthy and consistent number of perspective tenants.Look, I agree the massive run in Dallas price appreciation is getting late in the tooth, but I don't see it dropping 20%, too many people are moving to the area every year.And, don't forget Dallas is a finalist for Amazon, and the city council just had a closed door meeting that some speculate was about Amazon. 

I would wait for 2-3 months before making the purchase so you can use the renters money to pay for the entire shipment and analyze their spending trends and see what items they enjoy the most and best prices that would out compete those places. convenience things like toilet paper, tooth paste, tooth brushes, laundry detergent, soap, bounce could be an option, and then you have snacks, cold drinks, phone chargers, etc.

@Matt Devincenzo, unfortunately erosion of prop 13 is 'next' on the hit list

The majority of those are out of ignorance of the landlord not knowing the law and them thinking, I will get my first rental, figure it out as I go and then if that does not go well then hire a PM company.It is like someonee saying I have a tooth issue, I am going to try and pull it myself and if that does not go well then maybe next one go to the dentist.

Here, too, the tenant can take the landlord to small claims court to try to recover the deposit.

And the company will fight you tooth and toenail to avoid making a payout.

Yeah I thought about that too. The

Neighbors started fighting it tooth and toenail, and this whole craze has pretty much stopped.On my own lot, I could probably request a rezoning and build 10 townhomes.

But that's fee is typical for here, too. The

just stick too the lease it keeps life simple...
