Potential STR Areas in in Tx

[Brian Cannon]

Hi All, 

Still relatively new to the Dallas area and was curious on thoughts on the Garland, Tx market for STR? Also was wondering if anyone knows a solid design team that is priced fairly, and how I can find a solid handyman in the area.

Thanks!

It would probably be worth a phone call to the Garland Planning and Zoning department to ascertain which areas are permitted to have short term rentals.

Hey @Brian Cannon after you check and see where STRs are allowed, surf AirBNB and VRBO in the immediate area and see what others are there.

How much are they getting for a nightly rate? What is their occupancy? What amenities do they offer?

That will give you a good idea of how well you could do in that area.

Garland code compliance oversees the rental registration program. This also covers STR.
