Keep in mind rent control is 1 thing, its a laws for existing tenants but some city's like Newark are so strict that you must get approval for what rent can be even after a tenant moves out and new ones move in. 

Change orders are going to happen, but by needing approval from you before they move forward, this allows you to control expenses better and/or make adjustments in the SOW so that you can stay on track and on budget.

Until I ran into it, overcame and prospered. 

Have anyone done business with Prosperity CRE that can provide some feedbacks?

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.

If that’s the case, I’d recommend considering areas outside of Dallas proper where you can still find properties with strong growth potential.Cities like Prosper, Melissa, Princeton, and Anna are excellent options to explore.

Let's make 2025 a prosperous one!!

and I gotta tell you it's really fun to get to see the impact of my legacy gifts while I'm still around to watch my children prosper.
