Out of state investing - Dallas TX area

[Josh Payne]

Hello. My wife and I (live in Medford, OR) have decided to take the leap and invest out of state. We’re looking at the Dallas, TX area including, Rowlett, Garland and Mesquite. Can anyone provide any info on investment property in these areas? We have an idea of average house cost and other indicators via Zillow, etc., but can someone provide info on good parts of town, rental market strength, economic info, anything else relevant would be great. Also a reference for a good PM co would be great!

Thanks! 

Josh

@Josh Payne try the Texas forum for this question.  I think you'll get more local responses there.  Thanks!
