I lived in Sherman once and didn't especially like living there, but there sure are a lot of dynamics that make it look attractive for investment now. 

It's a dynamic world - if I could find a 3-4 unit that cash flowed 200 a month per unit and hit a 15 plus ROI - i would jump all over it - I just only see this type of potential return (and better) in more depressed areas.  

They have their own payment platform (you could use Stripe... or GuestyPay), they have their own dynamic pricing (you could use PriceLabs... or GuestyPricing), they have their own smart locks (you could use RemoteLock... or GuestyLocks), etc. 

Ensure thorough market research to understand the local dynamics.

call me old fashion but if you are sifting through deals, the number 1 thing I look at is market dynamics.
