JUNE 2014 Property Investment Update - Dallas/Ft Worth/Austin Areas

Hello and thanks for visiting the DFW Investment Blog,

Below is the JUNE 2014 Property Update. If you need an AUTO ALERT set up to notify you immediately of properties hitting your parameters or if you need COMPS, please let me know so I can make sure you don’t miss anything. Parameters to included property type, area, price, etc.

Again, I am a State of Texas licensed Realtor that works with buyers to locate property. My focus throughout the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex are duplexes, 4-plexes and small commercial multi-family property. This blog is updated bi-monthly (I also send out a bi-monthly email with the latest property update, let me know if you would like to be added to that list).

I am always happy to customize a search specific to your needs. I know some people want full investment properties while others are looking to Owner Occupy one unit as a primary residence and rent the other unit for extra income (so the other tenant is paying the mortgage for you) – because of this parameters vary from deal to deal.

Below is the JUNE 2014 list of properties of interest. As always, if you see something of interest or have questions, please let me know and will get answers/comps.

SINGLE FAMILY INVESTMENT PROPERTY – 2014

I tried to keep an up to date list of SEVERAL areas I like for SINGLE FAMILY INVESTMENT but just too much to keep track and post. On single family homes I look for good areas/ISD’s with homes below market value and then cross check rental data to make sure they will also cash flow. These will be regular sales, short sales and foreclosures. Shape of the home to be determined on visit. This is becoming a popular segment for appreciation and cash flow. What I currently do is have the investor send me the parameters they want (price, location, size, etc) and then set up specific searches to pull new listings so we don’t miss anything. The ones priced below market will move fast.
