What do we think about investing in Fort Worth?

Question

Just wanted to pick everyones brain and see what y'all think about Fort Worths market?!

Andrew Postell · Answer

@Louis Alec Deutschmann you have some good comments above but it depends on what type of investing you are thinking about. If you are thinking about Short Term Rentals (STRs) then Fort Worth is terrible since they have outlawed STR's. But if you are thinking of investing as a flipper, then it's fine...but Dallas and surrounding suburbs would be slightly better. Long term rentals are amazing in our market. We (DFW) are always ranked in "The Top Cities to Invest In" consistently. In the past 30 years the population of Texas has doubled. 90% of that growth has occurred within 50 miles of I-35. We target 3BR 2BA homes here under $300k. The less expensive the better. That's the winning formula.

Hope all of that makes sense but feel free to ask anything else. Thanks!

In particular, I like North Fort Worth a lot around the Summerfield neighborhood and Alliance. It's generally a nice B+ to A class long-term investment area.

This week the median list price for Fort Worth, TX 76120 is $347,500. Inventory has decreased to 22. By comparing rate of sales versus inventory, the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks. Lately, prices have settled in a bit of a plateau. We are currently in a Seller’s market so prices will likely resume their climb should this low inventory trend persist.

Given the market diversity and size, I think Fort Worth offers a little something for every type  of investor. As things progress, I could see a trend where investors that primarily focus on cashflow, begin looking in the areas and towns surrounding Fort Worth. The big question is, what are your goals and can the Fort Worth market help you achieve those?

Great Metroplex; what are your goals?

It's far cheaper than Dallas.. okay, not far. But certainly cheaper. Fort Worth is a huge market though - we speaking downtown or the metro as a whole?
