Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to dig deeper into the chaos I've immersed myself in over the last 10 years or so.Cheers and drive safe

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.

You’ve got time, a clear goal, and the drive to make it happen.

If you haven't already, try going off market, driving around neighborhoods that would be of interest to you and finding ones that fall into your criteria (your agent should be able to help you as well).

There are areas outside the Tahoe basin with a short drive that can provide for solid short term or long term income streams and still pull in the Tahoe goers.

I'm struggling a little bit on deciding the best agreement to make sure I can get some cash flow, payback the HELOC, and not drive the new mortgage up too much with the Refi out of the HELOC.

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

The furthest properties are the hardest to deal with because my contractors don’t want to travel that far due to their time wasted driving and the cost of gas for their big trucks.

All in all I will be loosing 10's of thousands.This process killed all of my real estate momentum, but has ignited a drive to succeed.

figuring that if I track and work towards creating and "presenting" 250 specific deals to my clients.My Theory being: Tracking "deals presented" will pull forward the need to go search and find deals, and will also drive the deals closed and revenue numbers, so we shall see but logics out to me so I'm liking it so far.
