Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.

Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.

Castrated men live longer.

Research shows vaping can shrink testicles and cause sperm counts to plummet.

New scientific research suggests finding new scientific discoveries is getting harder.

Not having enough sleep per day leads to a desire for sex, depression and alcoholism.

You are 13.8% more likely to die on your birthday than on any other day of the year.

Ferrero, the maker of Nutella, uses about 25% of the world's hazelnut supply.

In a lifetime, the average person will spend over five years of their life on social media.

Canada’s largest cemetery is plagued by groundhogs who keep digging up the bones.

People who sleep late have more mental stamina and can outperform early risers.

Steve Jobs was adopted. His biological father was Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian Muslim.

At least 1/7th of subscription service revenue is from people who forgot they were subscribed.

People who read books live an average of two years longer than those who don't, according to a Yale study.

Studies have shown that people who frequently use emojis in text messages have more active dating and sex lives.

In 2023, Canadian residents were shocked to see an enormous phallic iceberg float past their home town of Dildo.

A Japanese woman was having laser surgery on her cervix when she farted, igniting the laser and setting herself on fire.

A study found that marrying an older man reduces a woman's lifespan, but marrying a younger man reduces it even more.

The world’s first nudist colony, founded in India in 1891, was called The Fellowship Of The Naked Trust. (Good job Tolkien didn't name it!)

The most powerful way to win an argument is by asking questions. You'd be surprised at how it can make people see the flaws in their logic.

Athletic shoes are called ‘sneakers’ because, when they were invented, people used them to their advantage to move around quietly.

Walking for just one hour twice a week increases the size of the hippocampus, the brain area in charge of verbal memory and learning.

The word ‘dude’ was first used in the 1800s as an insult towards young men who were too concerned with keeping up with the latest fashions.

The best thing in life is finding someone who knows all your flaws, mistakes, and weaknesses, and still thinks you're completely amazing.

In Detroit, a man was arrested after installing and bolting a marijuana vending machine to the front of his home and selling weed to his neighbourhood. He was making over $2,000 a day.

Movie theatres in Iceland, Switzerland, Egypt, Turkey and India often have a 10-minute intermission in the middle of the movie, giving viewers a chance to visit the concession stands or use the restroom.

Diddy has reassigned his publishing rights back to all the artists and songwriters who helped build Bad Boy Entertainment. Ma$e, Faith Evans, The LOX, 112 and the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. have already signed agreements to regain those rights.

The TV show ‘Dallas’, about the family of an oil tycoon from Texas, was named by a producer. When the writer protested saying that, “Houston is the oil city,” the producer said, “Who knows that? Who cares? Do you want to watch a show called ‘Houston’?”

Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in Star Wars actually had to be accompanied by crew members dressed in brightly coloured vests while filming in the forest of the Pacific Northwest. This was to ensure that he wasn't shot by hunters who might mistake him for Bigfoot.

In 1940, the Nazis sent 12 spies to Britain to pave the way for an invasion. However, the spies were captured, partly due to their poor knowledge of British customs and lack of fluency in English. Two spies were arrested for biking on the wrong side of the road, another for ordering alcohol at 10 a.m.

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is an area in London where an emissions standard based charge is applied to non-compliant road vehicles. Plans were announced by London Mayor Boris Johnson in March 2015 for the zone to come into operation in September 2020. Sadiq Khan, the subsequent mayor, introduced the zone on April 8th, 2019.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Why do you need to pick the best home automation company?

The installation of automated home systems is not an easy task. It is a technology-intensive activity which requires adequate planning. Besides, you would want the expensive products handled only by expert hands. The installation should also be well-tested and completed on time.

Professionals are well-versed in all the latest tools, software, and technologies. They also know more about smart devices, Home Theatre, Sound Systems, Video Equipment, etc. How to pick the professionals from the long list of service providers in the market? Let us look at some of the criteria for selecting a smart home solution provider.

Certification And Membership

Many run-of-the-mill smart electronics companies promise the moon but fail to deliver even minimum standards. Hence, you have to be careful and select an accredited business. The professional association for this particular industry is the Custom Electronic Design And Installation Association (CEDIA).

Members of CEDIA have proper licenses and insurance coverage

They also follow a strict code of ethics to deliver trustworthy services

The members stay up-to-date with the latest home system technologies

All members participate in training courses, expos, seminars, etc.

Control4 Dealer Dallas, a CEDIA member, is the best example of what CEDIA certification stands for

Verifiable References

In real estate, a cottage builder is not suitable for constructing mansions. Similarly, some namesake technician is not suitable for home automation installation. The best companies can handle even complex projects with large scale and scope. Those who take up projects regularly will have adequate proof. You can ask your friends for recommendations and verify the credentials of the suggested company.

Also, ask the company for references and check the sites in person. Those who have experience gladly share their sample project work. Verifiable work is useful not just for ascertaining business expertise but also for checking out different ideas, designs, and functions on the menu.

These businesses also offer a bouquet of feature-rich services to the customers. Control4 Automation Frisco, for example, can set up smart homes with excellent features. The experts deliver an integrated system with security cameras, automatic lights, home theatre, remote-controlled garage doors, etc.

Reputed Partnerships

Home automation experts bring together different technologies and products. They design a living experience based on a range of smart devices and controllers. Advanced systems also rely on cutting edge AI products, sensors, robotics, etc. So, the company should have reliable, reputed partnerships. This criterion is useful in evaluating authority, technical skills, and competence.

Smart tech automation has a wide range of customers, like homeowners and business stores. Even larger offices and corporations aspire for the best automation. Consequently, a good home automation company should have partners who can satisfy the needs of your project.

For instance, you can depend on a well-known Control4 Dealer Dallas for their superior, smart solutions. These system installers work with the best sound, light, security, and entertainment products. Besides, they set up a secure and well-integrated automated system. Their high-quality appliances and devices ensure an enhanced living experience.

Cost Estimation Plan

Home automation requires a wide range of exquisite products. They include controllers, smoke detectors, light switches, energy monitors, smart doorbells, etc. Also, a comprehensive solution will have the best security camera surveillance system. And all these devices come at a considerable cost. As a customer, you have to plan a budget and spend judiciously based on the requirements.

You should also ask the automation company for upfront prices. The top businesses like Control4 Automation Frisco co-operate willingly in these matters. They will evaluate your specific needs and outline the needed equipment, installation costs, and detailed bids. The most trustworthy dealers ensure transparent pricing without any hidden or confusing implicit costs.

Since costs play a significant role, price comparison is essential. It would help if you looked for the best businesses with competitive prices. Some dealers also have flexible pricing plans to accommodate diverse customers. But be reasonable and do not go just by the service provider that offers the bargain price, alone. Automation technologies can change rapidly and become obsolete in a short period. So, look for a robust, sustainable solution with expansion and scalable options.

Maintenance Services

Configuration and installation are not sufficient when it comes to smart electronic systems. The dealer also has to provide these additional services to satisfy the demanding buyers.

Customer Service: An easily accessible help center is essential to resolve common problems. It can be in the form of a physical helpdesk, phone call support, or online chatbot.

Technical Support: Experts who can troubleshoot any problem have to be a phone call away. Their immediate response prevents panic and creates a reassuring atmosphere at home.

Maintenance Work: Programming and troubleshooting can be a remote operation. But wiring and device repairs need a maintenance team that can arrive on time.

Upgrade Facilities: The systems need frequent upgrades, based on technological advancement. Make sure that the company that you choose is open for those services.

Additional Services: They include diagnostics to improve the home system’s efficiency, remote monitoring services, and more.

You can trust a reputable home system installer such as Control4 Dealer Dallas for their unique, seamless solutions.

[INTERVIEW] Dominic Monaghan: Taking The Shire to Galaxies Far, Far Away

Sci-fi fans who have seen The Rise of Skywalker might have noticed something familiar about Beaumont Kin, Rose’s new ally in battle against Palpatine’s star destroyer fleet. Dominic Monaghan took on the role for the final installment after he won a soccer bet against director JJ Abrams. While the wager makes for a fun anecdote, Dominic is no stranger to blockbuster hits or playing characters that face immeasurable odds. After all, he did stare down the monstrous armies of Sauron as Merry the hobbit in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movies.

Like many others over the past three decades, Dominic grew up being infatuated with George Lucas’s brilliant world and dreamt of what it would be like to be a part of it. Disney has always claimed to make dreams come true and this is exactly what they did for Dominic. Although he only had a minor role in the Star Wars universe, it was more than enough to leave a huge impact on the actor.

"It was important for me to do my job whilst also having an out of body experience at times. It was always a thrill to go on set and see what JJ had in store for us. I think my first costume fitting and script reading was when it really soaked into my system. The premiere was emotional. Having a private moment with R2 was emotional. Hugging Chewie (Joonas Suotamo) was emotional. I felt like I’d come full circle. The 8-year-old me was in rapture."

The Star Wars universe is, indeed, full of timeless characters. The heroes, droids, villains, and dialogue have spawned decades of pop references. Even with all of the iconic names that span the cartoons, books, and eleven films, fans somehow seem to gravitate to one or two favorites that they hold dear.

"As I’ve aged it’s become more and more about Yoda, his life and teachings. As a young boy it was always Han. He’s a brilliant character, but Yoda is like Buddha and a jester all rolled into one. He has influenced my life the most."

The sudden and mysterious arrival of Dominic’s character left many fans intrigued about his backstory. How did Beaumont Kin become such a pivotal player in the Resistance? What skills does he have? How did he know Chewbacca? It’s easy to see that the movie alludes to a much deeper understanding of Beaumont, but the amount of screen time left fans with more questions about him than answers. So, who is he?

"He’s a code breaker from a broken home. He’s smart, ambitious, and motivated. He appears in three Star Wars comics and gets a double page spread in the new Star Wars encyclopedia!"

The Rise of Skywalker was met with a division of overwhelming praise and criticism. The main complaints voiced by critics seem to revolve around underdeveloped plots and story gaps. Since the movie hit theatres, rumors have swirled that JJ Abrams’s vision was cut short to meet Disney’s run time goal. Furthermore, other rumors suggest that there is an extended “Director’s Cut” of the movie being held captive by the corporation that could potentially be released in the future. Much of this speculation has been fueled by some of Dominic’s recent interviews in which he discusses witnessing tons of pivotal scenes that didn’t make it to the final product. That aside, Dominic has not actually verified that an Abram’s cut exists.

"All I can say is, like ALL films, many scenes were left on the cutting room floor that I’m sure everyone will want to see."

The chance to permanently be a part of the Star Wars universe is obviously treasured by Dominic, but that doesn’t mean that he has left Middle Earth behind. The Lord of the Rings series propelled his career and the years on set forged a bond between the cast that may rival that of the rings. In fact, the main actors from the series all got matching commemorative tattoos (with the exception of John Rhys-Davies).

"The Lord of the Rings was 5/6 years of on set work and premieres and press. The whole world changed for me. It was a much more immersive experience. I was happy just to be a guest on Star Wars. It was a huge pleasure, but my experience was only 3 months or so."

Like George Lucas, J. R. R. Tolkien masterfully created magical worlds that have captivated thousands for generations. There are very few actors that have gotten to immerse themselves in both of these universes. So, which would Dominic prefer to live in if he had the opportunity?

"Simply because of more chances to explore magical worlds and abilities and experiences, I’d say Star Wars just pushes it. But, given a choice of a city, I’d choose Lothlorian first."

It sounds like it might be a good thing he doesn’t have to choose. In a sense, he will forever live in each of them. The good news for fans in Dallas is that he will also be taking a step into our world soon. Dominic Monaghan is slated to be a guest at this year’s Fan Expo Dallas. He will join his fellow hobbits in one of the year’s most anticipated reunions. Dominic seemed almost as eager as the fans about the experience.

"I like meeting young people who love the things I’ve been involved with and watching them light up and be inspired, like I am to meet them. Also, I think the hobbits are all going to get dinner one night. It’ll be nice just to be with my brothers. The four of us haven’t been together for years."

If you would like to be a part of this epic event, Fan Expo Dallas runs from March 27-29 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in downtown Dallas. Dominic is scheduled to be appearing on Saturday and Sunday only. To find out more information or get tickets go to fanexpodallas.com.

New Post has been published on Homes Below Market | Homes For Sale Dallas TX Area

New Post has been published on http://foreclosures-dallas-texas.com/projection-screens-are-for-big-audiences-2/

Projection Screens Are For Big Audiences

Projection screens are special screens used to project an image for the audience. Movie theatres use projection screens on a wide scale. These screens are used in conferences or home theatres as well. The screens serve different purposes in different places. Therefore they are installed in various ways.

The projection screens can be wall-mounted type, pull down type or mobile type. Wall mounted types are needed for exact reproduction of the picture. Movie halls and home theatres use this type of screen. The second type, that is pull down screens do not need a fixed place, they can be used as and when required. Mobile screens are pull down screens mounted on a free stand but the projection of pictures are not perfect in these projection screens.

Projection screens are always matte white or matte grey. This helps in the perfect colour projection of the slides, otherwise, the pictures or images might get discoloured. Matte grey screens or grey screens reflect less light from the projector, they also absorb less light from the room. Image brightness ratio is correctly maintained and many call these projection screens high contrast screens.

The screens may be flat or curved, but flat screens are the preferred ones. Projection screens are used for both back and front projection. The light that is projected on the screen is diffusely reflected by the front projection screens. Back projection screens work differently. The light that is projected on them is diffusely transmitted through the screens.

Like any other consumer items projection screens can be of high quality and bad quality. It depends on how much the prospective buyer is going to pay for a screen. Obviously high quality screens will have higher price tags. It is advisable to go through the details of the product before purchasing. Many manufacturers give a detailed list of what they are offering.

Projection screens are mainly required for commercial purposes like in cinema halls or conference rooms, but individuals might buy them for their home theatre. The buyer has to decide on the screen size. Minimum and maximum viewing distance has to be taken in to account. Minimum viewing distance is the distance closest to the screen from where the viewer can see the whole picture. Maximum viewing distance is the distance furthest from the screen, from which the picture as a whole can be seen. There is a formula for calculating this, but those not strong in mathematics can depend on reliable makers who manufacture screens taking everything in to consideration.

A well-rounded city growing out of the stark North Texas prairie, Dallas has a jumble of ultramodern skyscrapers, the largest arts district in the United States, museums of the highest quality and pulsating nightlife.

Whole swathes of the city have been reinvented in recent times, like the Design District breathing new life into an austere neighborhood of warehouses, or Klyde Warren Park, on the former route of a freeway. But if you’re hunting for old-time Texas trademarks like big steaks, BBQ and honkytonks among the upscale restaurants and high-culture, you’ll find them with little trouble. Dallas will also forever be tied to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, and at Dealey Plaza, you’ll discover how the city has come to terms with this tragedy. Let’s explore the best things to do in Dallas.

[toc]

1. Dealey Plaza

In Dallas, you can visit a place where the course of history was changed forever.

The landmarks at Dealey Plaza, like the Texas School Book Depository, the Grassy Knoll and Elm Street as it bends down to the railroad tracks, would be unremarkable were it not for the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.

The cityscape at Dealey Plaza is mostly unchanged and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.

It’s hard not to be moved looking up at the corner sixth-floor window from which Lee Harvey Oswald fired his three shots, seeing the X that marks the spot where JFK was struck by the fatal second bullet and standing on the bank from which Abraham Zapruder took his famous footage.

2. The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

All the context you could want about the assassination of John F. Kennedy is available at this thorough and even-handed museum housed in the former Texas Schools Book Depository and opened in 1989.

As you work your way up to Lee Harvey Oswald’s sixth-floor roost you’ll find out about JFK’s career and the landscape in the early-1960s, taking in the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War.

The deed itself is covered in great detail, with hundreds of photographs from the scene and analysis of the Zapruder film (the Zapruder family donated the copyright to the museum in 1999). Inevitably there’s also background on the myriad conspiracy theories swirling around the assassination, to the point where even obsessives may pick up a new tidbit.

Finally, Lee Harvey Oswald’s vantage point, preserved behind glass, is as cluttered as it was when he fired his shots in November 1963.

3. Arts District

Dallas lays claim to the largest urban arts district in the United States, on 20 square blocks to the south-east of Uptown, and with a rare concentration of cultural attractions.

We’ll visit plenty of attractions in this area, like the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Klyde Warren Park and the Winspear Opera House.

Respected venues and institutions are shoulder-to-shoulder in the Arts District, from the vaunted Dallas Black Dance Theatre in the east to the Dallas Museum of Art in the west.

There’s also tons of architectural interest, in monuments like the neo-Gothic Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin Guadalupe (1902), with a 68-meter spire and 100 stained glass windows.

If you really want to get to know the Arts District’s cityscape there are 90-minute walking tours on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 10:00.

4. Dallas Museum of Art (DMA)

One of the top art museums in the country sends you on an international journey through 5,000 years of history, from antiquity to contemporary art.

Art-lovers can leap across time periods and civilizations, inspecting 1,700-year-old Buddhas, a Greek funerary relief from 300 BCE, ancient American art in gold and a Nok terracotta bust from Nigeria dating back 2,000 years.

The American and European art collections are as rich as you’d hope, with works by O’Keeffe, Hopper, Childe Hassam and masters like Canaletto, Courbet, Monet, van Gogh, and Piet Mondrian.

Every post-war trend from Abstract Expressionism to Installation Art has a place in the comprehensive Contemporary galleries, featuring Sigmar Polke, Jasper Johns, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and many more.

Founded in 1903, this is one of the ten largest art museums in the United States, with ten concurrent exhibitions, and a program of talks, tours, concerts, film screenings, and workshops.

5. Perot Museum of Nature and Science

An exceptional attraction and head-turning new landmark for Dallas, the Perot Museum of Nature (2012) has 11 permanent exhibit halls on five floors.

This extraordinary building is designed as a large cube over a water garden, while the facade evokes the drought-tolerant grassland of North Texas.

It would be impossible, to sum up, this multifaceted museum in one paragraph, but as with any state-of-the-art science attraction, you can be sure that there’s lots of interactivity and hands-on activities.

You can experience an earthquake, make music in a sound studio, build your own robot, smell the beeswax of the Blackland Prairie, compete against world-class athletes and take a whirlwind trip around Dallas in miniature.

No natural history museum would be complete without dinosaur skeletons, and the “Life, Then and Now Hall” is ruled by gargantuan Alamosaurus and T. rex fossils, but also has a superb Paleo Lab where you can watch the museum’s cutting-edge dinosaur research on screens in real-time.

6. Klyde Warren Park

A patch of Downtown Dallas in the Arts District was completely transformed in the early 2010s when the Woodall Rodgers Freeway moved underground for three blocks to make way for this innovative public park on its route.

Dreamed up as a central public gathering space for Dallas, Klyde Warren Park has a big lawn fringed by a tree-lined pedestrian promenade and comes with a restaurant, children’s park, botanical garden, reading room, dog park, performance pavilion, and urban games area.

The park opened in 2012 and is named for the son of billionaire Kelcy Warren who donated $10 million for its development.

On a given day there will be ten or more licensed food trucks here, and the park’s website will tell you who they are and what they’re serving up.

7. Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden

Dallas has many plus points, but verdure isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Even so, there’s a botanical garden to match the best, in 66 acres on the south-east shore of White Rock Lake, only 15 minutes from Downtown Dallas. We’ll talk about this reservoir in more detail later.

There are 19 named gardens at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden, like the 6.5-acre Margaret Elisabeth Jonsson Color Garden, with vibrant seasonal beds of more than 2,000 azalea varieties (one of the largest in the United States), as well as tulips and daffodils.

The Palmer Fern Dell, where a brook is edged by ferns, azaleas, camellias, and mature trees, is a godsend in the searing summer months when mist sprayers lower the ambient temperature by several degrees.

The big event on the calendar is Dallas Blooms, from the start of February to mid-April, with more than 100 varieties of spring-blooming bulbs including 500,000 individual tulips.

8. Reunion Tower

One of the towers that make Dallas, Dallas arrived at the south of Dealey Plaza in 1978. Also known as The Ball, the 171-meter Reunion Tower is four narrow shafts (one cylindrical and thee rectangular) crowned with an openwork geodesic dome illuminated at night by 259 LEDs.

The elevators are in the three rectangular shafts, and on the 68-second ride to the GeO-Deck, you’ll get a stirring view of Dallas through shaft’s outer glass panel.

And once you reach the GeO-Deck you can brush up the city’s story and changing skyline on interactive screens, peer through telescopes and feel the breeze on the outdoor platform.

There are also two rotating eateries up here, at the Cloud Nine Cafe and Wolfgang Puck’s posh Five Sixty, with an Asian-infused menu.

9. AT&T Stadium

For many sports fans, the name Dallas is almost always followed by “Cowboys”, 24-time division champions, five-time Superbowl champions and the most valued team in the NFL as of 2019.

The Cowboys are tied in second with most Superbowl appearances in history and are currently on a run of sold-out regular and post-season games that has stretched since 2002.

In 2009 the franchise moved to the 80,000-capacity (expandable to 105,000) At&T Stadium, located 20-minutes west in Arlington and claimed to be the largest domed building in the world.

One of many astounding things about the stadium is its public art program, which has left it with museum-quality pieces of contemporary art by the likes of Olafur Eliasson and Doug Aitken.

You don’t need game tickets to see the AT&T Stadium up close, as there’s a menu of tours, from self-guided visits to a special VIP Guided Tour with extra tour stop and field access, all with an expert guide.

10. Nasher Sculpture Center

Raymond Nasher (1921-2007), the developer behind the NorthPark Center mall, was a voracious art collector, and together with his wife Patsy assembled a jaw-dropping sculpture collection.

Much of this was put on display at the mall (some still is) until a more suitable permanent home could be built. At the turn of the 21st century, the Nasher Foundation put up the funds for a Renzo Piano-designed museum with a two-acre garden to make these riches available to the public.

The Nasher Sculpture Center is all the more extraordinary against the cityscape of downtown Dallas.

The center’s collection is a who’s who of modern sculpture, furnished with pieces by Alexander Calder, Giacometti, Hepworth, Henry Moore, Matisse, Gauguin, Joan Miró, Picasso, Claes Oldenburg, Richard Serra, and Rodin.

Only a fraction of the foundation’s holdings can be displayed at one time, so the center’s exhibition is refreshed every few months.

Where Are the Best Places in Texas to Buy Real Estate for Rentals?

If you’re ready to make the jump into Texas rental properties, it can be a bit overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to start.

This is especially true if you’re looking to buy real estate for the purpose of renting. Moreover, the state of Texas is huge.

However, you can narrow down your search by sticking to larger cities in Texas like Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Additionally, you’ll need to decide whether you want to have a traditional rental property or if you want to focus on short-term rentals such as Air Bnb.

Nonetheless, before we get into the best places to buy up hot properties, let’s dig into why you might want to buy a rental property in the first place.

Why Buy Rental Property in Texas—or Anywhere?

Every investment has an element of risk. For example, the sudden downturn of a market, the unexpected collapse of a company, or a particular technology becoming irrelevant can all be sources of instability.

On the other hand, buying real estate is almost always a good bet. Of course, a real estate investment can only be sound when you research the surrounding area. Also, you must know the local market and be able to handle a market change.

Here are a few tips for your first rental property:

1. Learn How to Do Repairs Yourself

To start with, if you can avoid paying a professional for things like painting your house or installing cabinets, this can help preserve and boost your profits. Of course, in some cases, you might need a professional. However, it’s a good idea to be a little handy.

2. Get Ready for a Bigger Down Payment

Because rental properties aren’t eligible for mortgage insurance, you’ll probably need at a minimum 20% of the purchase price.

3. Set a Margin

Aim for a 10% margin when you’re managing your own rental property. Also, don’t forget to include fees like insurance, homeowners’ association costs, property taxes, and other related expenses when you’re calculating your margin.

4. Know the Neighborhood

It’s a good idea to get a feel for the local neighborhood you’re renting in. That’s because this knowledge could help you anticipate changes in the local rental market in the future.

5. Get Affordable Financing

For example, use reputable Dallas hard money lenders you know and trust if you’re in the Dallas area.

Final Thoughts About Rental Properties in Texas

Buying and owning your own rental property isn’t just a one-and-done kind of deal. It takes a lot of work. Therefore, if you think that buying a rental means easy money, you might want to consider other types of investments.
