The first offer we agreed to was very strong; Pre-qualified, great credit,1k down in earnest money and gave themselves a 5-day back out period to show their enthusiasm.

Or does it make sense to just address the items that will cause ongoing maintenance headaches or lower the quality of living for the tenants, but leave the 'bones' of the house as-is?

After some strong negotiating that hinged of us not willing to work with the sellers if they didn't accept our offer that night, we were able to put the house under contract before multiple offers came in.

DFW continues to be a strong and growing market.

If any market has strong population growth and growing median income this forms a deadly duo.

My purpose of this post is to find a strong, reliable Real Estate Agent in my area looking to grow their own business, and who'd be willing to help partner with me on future deals and provide access into their MLS portal so that I can focus on acquisitions (finding off/on-market properties) to then shop to the end buyers/investors on my list.

I’ve done a sewer scope on every one of my personal deals (except one that we had no inspection contingency on) and I always strongly recommend buyer clients have it done.

I look for good bones, great floor plans, vaults, 3/2, large fenced backyards, and something that just needs cosmetic work to turn it into an above average rental How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
