I tied to do that in Austin but all duplexes in areas I wanted to live were $1M+. I’d imagine Dallas is the same or similar, potentially more

A1 so what’d you do? I’m debating my options but I’d really prefer to not rent.

Build - buy a lot and start from scratch

Renting better in areas where home prices are high

I bought a single bd condo instead :/ for the record I think a duplex is a great idea, just wasn’t feasible for me at this point. Didn’t have the $downpayment

I was looking within 2 miles of downtown though

Idk, all the houses are single family from what I’ve seen. Almost non-existent.

A1 I gotcha, atleast you could buy somewhere. Did you use the FHA loan? And pwc1 yea I’m just trying to hold out for the right multifamily to show up

Where in Dallas specifically? Bought a house in Plano, but looking to buy rental property in the next year

No I did a conventional loan

I’m looking anywhere plano and south. I’m looking east and west. Trying to stay away from southwest downtown though.

OP - how would you use FHA? Aren’t there not to exceed income requirements?

IBM1 I don’t believe there are income requirements. So I plan to use it so that I can leverage myself more and use the other money on SFH. Just struggling to find a realtor that can locate a multifamily for me

Try loopnet.com

A1 thanks yea I’ve looked there but it’s mostly commercial and I need it to be a 4plex or smaller

Highly Technical Market Sell-Off - Though, it has picked up over lunch and I suspect that short term turn is in near. Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.
