@Andy Mirza is spot on. 

I also have a soft spot in my heart for Dallas as I spent a lot of that time in that city in college.

We do a thorough job looking at comparable units to price our vacancies, but will decrease the price $100/week until we see a sweet spot with inquiries.

In that area you should get about $500 month per spot, hopefully 2 per 1/2 ace lot. 

Unfortunately, it's not always possible to tell what's being covered up--which is one reason I rarely buy newly rehabbed properties, and I especially don't buy properties with newly finished basements (if the basement is unfinished, you can see a lot more of the plumbing, wiring, and you can also spot signs of settling or other structural integrity problems...but, if the basement is finished, you can't tell what's underneath the new finishings)  ...in fact, I'd say the basement/crawlspace is one of the areas I inspect the most thoroughly, because you can gain so much knowledge about the condition of the property by carefully looking around down there...Good luck out there!

It's not right on the water and it doesn't have a spot at any of the marinas that I'm aware of.I recently sold my house due to a divorce. 

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.5.

The sweet spot in my market for SFR rentals are in the $75k - $125k range and rent for $1200-$1400/mo , $250K properties rent for around $2200-$2400/mo$1500/mo for a $450K property seems like a very low return unless you are expecting massive appreciation of value
