Hey Tyrone, I'm a mortgage banker at rocket mortgage.

It isn't rocket science, it is spread sheets, a lot of research and usually sweat equity or giant margins that allow you to be a paper contractor.

I am a new  investor in the Houston area, coming over from Louisville, KY.

@Martin AlonsoI recommend you consider Houston, TX!

Dallas, Houston, Austin etc.

shared equity was very popular in the SF Bay AREA in the late 80s and early 90s  for different reasons.. were i lived Palo Alto  the values sky rocketed and there were no low money down loans you needed 20% down in those days.. 

We're in Louisville and have investment properties in Boulder, OH, and Houston.

We don’t have any knowledge about rental property, so we want to look for good property management agent in Houston area.

I am a former Real Estate Investor, my health was in question for about 4 years, and I have lucky and blessed to finally start to get back into the Game, I have never had any experience in apartment complex investing, my family have managed units for more than 30 years, that was my mother and she is not here anymore...in talking to the owner of the Complex, I see he doesn't have the effective managerial experience to do the job well enough, and the units are becoming deplorable, he has a gold mine, because where the units sit, right now the units, sit maybe within a mile to two major universities, one being UOH, that would be the University of Houston, and the next would be TSU, and that would be Texas Southern University, not ivy league, but top Universities, and the area supports it with what it cost to live in this area, that being said....He wants a ridiculous amount, for the units, but there are not cash flowing like they should, under managed, so we talk about a sale, and he is willing to sell, but I will need a strong partner to make this happen....Love to talk more to someone that has high net worth that could bring equity to turn these around....I have Commercial Financing that wants to paly, but I am not strong enough, with a a capital partner...Anyone?

You may consider Houston or Austin as an alternative to DFW, but my suggestion would be to keep it close to home so that you can more easily manage the property.Good luck!
