To make an informed decision, research the mid-term rental landscape in Garland, considering average rental rates, vacancy rates, and competitor offerings.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

@Matthew Giblin you're highly unlikely to succeed if you spread yourself over 4 markets.Recommend you do more research and just pick one of the 4 markets.Then do a trial run and see how it goes. 

Hey BP,I'm diving deeper into market research and looking to build a reliable process for identifying market metrics, data, and trends.

I’d suggest researching and staying open to different markets, then narrowing down your options to start building your team.

Start by narrowing down a market, researching local teams, and setting clear investment goals.

Matthew –– this is all gold!

Do your own due diligence and research however. 

As an example, if you think buying a condo and turning it into an airbnb at a later date is something that might interest you, you must do your research into the city rules regarding short-term rentals.

You should start by researching markets that align with your strategy, whether you're looking for cash flow or appreciation.
