@Nathan Carsten

I’m also in the McKinney area but glad to travel over to the Denton area.

Do you have a target day to do a casual Zoom call?

It’s always massively beneficial to share and learn inside a group meet up.

Good morning,

@Brian Simpson does a great walk through of the way to review the area, and set top suburbs to be an owner in.  I think the same driving factors that boost Trophy Club, Keller, Colleyville are reasons that Anna, Melisa, Prinecton, and Farmersville (Collin County based Suburbs).  These are a few extra cities to consider as options.

The North end of Collin County is in the path of progress, with huge growth around infrastructure, proximity to relocated, and relocating employer and high quality schools.

@John Peroyea

Awesome, let me know if you need anything.

Once social distancing dies down we should meet up.

@Kyle Mccaw

That’s great intel Kyle, I was not aware Mesquite was not landlord friendly, I knew Dallas was not so hot.

DFW is a huge market, different areas are going to have different levels of demand, types of renters and strategies for exiting.  I’m alway glad to jump on a phone call and answer questions, it’s hard to really know a market without driving it but I’ll narrow your focus down to most important points.

@Isaias Velasquez

Good morning,

I’ve had a lot of luck in Melissa for our of state investors. The price point between $245k - $265k gets a home home built 2015 or newer, with high quality tenants, rented in days. It does not do 1% yet, but the demand is so high it will get there over a few years.

This IS the path of progress, with a new freeway headed in there with in 5 years this new up and coming town becomes 20 mins from HUGE employers like State Farm, Toyota, HP, Pepsi, etc. Currently it is 5 to 10 mins from a large and growing Gov’t contractor Raytheon.

Up the road slightly lower cost is Anna, and Van Alstyne fit the same bill as new and in the path of progress. If you look at a map for McKinney, then head north on The US 75 you can find them.

Other great areas to consider are out West towards Denton, Little Elm, cross roads, Aubrey,

One big thing to be aware of is the reason big name employers are flocking to Texas is there is no employment tax, so Texas gets its revenue for schools and roads from property Taxes. We have higher than normal property taxes. Please keep that in mind for any Texas investments.

@Stephani Angelina

I like the Melissa area, there is a lot of growth and the investors I’ve help buy homes there have their place rented in Days, demand there is very high.

@Daniel Huffman

Wow, you all are busy. How have your rentals in Whitesboro gone? I’ve considered buying up there but always been anxious about how a rental would do.
