If you want to buy a starter home in Dallas proper, you're going to pay $400k.


My wife and I have sadly come to this realization. We've been renting in Dallas for a year and a half and it's just insane how little you get for your money here (unless you are willing to take a chance at buying in a seedy neighborhood).

Does anyone have a recommendation for an area to look for houses in the $250K range for a young married couple (mid 20s) with no children?

Rent.

I was approved for 250k through Rocket on my income and credit history and I came to the realization I needed 50K more to get into the neighborhoods I want. I am single though, so either its get a raise or find a wife.


I think I'll try the first right now lol...

I just bought 7 acres in Waxahachie, 30 min from Dallas.

If you are going to work in Dallas and want somewhere reasonable to live, Midlothian/Mansfield/Waxahachie is the way to go.
