I bought and sold earlier this year in Frisco and Lewisville, but these were houses and not townhomes/condos although they are building those in my neighborhood. Happy to help if I can.

What advice are you looking for?

like

1. Approach (finding an agent, loan broker)
2. Areas that make for a good investment and have good prices
3. Benefits/cons of townhome vs condo
4. Brief walkthrough of your experience.
5. Anything else a first time home buyer should be weary of

Lol we should get a group chat going if no one else responds and conduct some research ourselves.
