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.

@Ashish Gambhir like most have said it will take some creativity or a lot of work to get a cashflow rental in the Triangle. 

We have had rental properties where the HOA had a community pool, that was ok with me.

Quote from @Jonathan Small: I have had section 8 rental since 2008. 

If you plan to live there in the winters, you might have a hard time doing long term rental outside of that and finding a new tenant every summer.

This would reduce my monthly expense to $3,568, saving $144/month.Questions for the Community:Which of these options do you think makes the most sense for a long-term rental in NYC?

Lancaster city limits short term rentals to only certain zones of the city so definitely look at the city website for that information.

I have a rental property I put on the market for rent, do you guys have or know where to get a yearly lease agreement I can use in Phoenix, AZ? 

I'm looking into a 1st Position Heloc for my rental property in CT.

I think I'm in a pretty unique situation and am trying to figure out the right hoops to jump through to move forward.Long story short, I'm trying to tap into the equity of the rental property passed down from my grandparents that is held in an S-corp which is co-owned by myself, my siblings, our cousins, and an idiot uncle.
