Buying a flip or a rental in Dallas–Fort Worth?

Tell us what you want to buyStart with the house and your plan
What needs to work for you?
A flip and a rental can call for different houses. Decide what you want to do with the property, what you can spend on the purchase and repairs, and how much work you want to manage.
Have an address in mind?
Send the house and your question.
You do not need to start a new search to get in touch. Send the listing or property link, what interests you about it and what you want to understand.

Frequently asked questions
What does an investor-friendly real estate agent do?
An investor’s agent helps turn a buying plan into a property search, compare available property information and recent sales, and work through an offer and closing. The services and compensation you agree to with Mayshore go in your buyer agreement. A broker’s observations do not replace inspections, repair quotes or your own investment decision.
How do I start looking for a house to flip in DFW?
Start with your preferred areas, purchase range, available renovation budget and the work you can take on. Tell Jeremy your timing and funding plan. The search should account for the purchase, repairs, holding expenses and eventual selling costs, rather than just the difference between two prices.
What should I compare before buying a house to rent out?
Compare supportable rent evidence with the full ownership costs: financing, taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy and any management or association fees. Confirm condition, existing leases and any rental restrictions for the specific property. An advertised rent or projected return is an estimate, not income you have already earned.
Can I ask about an investment house I already found?
Yes. Include the property link and your question with your buying criteria. Let Jeremy know if you already have a representation agreement with another brokerage so that relationship can be reviewed before any work begins.
Does an investment house have to be off-market?
No. A listed house can fit an investment plan, and an off-market house can still be overpriced or unsuitable. Off-market describes how a property is offered; it does not establish a discount, condition or return. Availability, access and purchase terms need to be checked for each house.
Does Mayshore’s 1% listing fee cover buying an investment house?
No. The 1% applies to Mayshore’s single-family listing service when you sell. Purchase services and compensation are agreed separately in writing. Discuss those terms before tours and offers, including any existing agreement you have with another broker.
