McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

Evaluate potential rental properties with a keen eye on location, cash flow, and potential appreciation.

My job will be on the southside of Indianapolis, so for location wise that would be better, however obviously the north side seems to have more potential.

Location is key.

If you're going to do a lot of D4D, then you might want to have that, too.When I do D4D, I use PropStream to locate a number of properties in a small geographic area. 

I am right down the way, located in College Station / Bryan market.

@Zach Howard some copy & paste advice below:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

It all depends on your location and service.

Maybe it's property location.

In a market like Kansas City you can get $150 per month cash flow on average with the right multifamily property and right location.
