Fundamentals change neighborhood to neighborhood (i.e. appreciation potential), inventory/absorption issues may exist, rogue city council members and/or registered community organizations can make neighborhoods less appealing with little oversight which impacts value and marketability.

I also only post one property per city up on furnished finder, since it is a lead gen site and I just email all available properties with Airbnb links to the prospective tenants.

@Kent FordI agree with @Ryan Konen regarding areas like San Antonio’s outskirts, parts of Fort Worth, and growing cities like Tyler and Lubbock, which are becoming popular due to relative affordability and job growth.We will see an interest in smaller metro areas where prices are more accessible and a surge in new construction aimed at entry-level buyers.

What city in Texas are you located?

I recommend visiting a few cities to see which one you like best.

You cannot beat the power of an ADU for peace of mind, leveraging your home to pay less monthly and reduce your expenses and give you the experience and confidence of doing constriction, getting permits and working with the city and managing a very easy rental.

I did find some good data on city-data.com that I had forgotten about.

After  3.5 years we have permits for a 17 unit redevelopment project.We had hopes that we would break ground within a year of buying the property....that fell by the wayside for 2 reasons:1) we had worked with the city to increase density through an affordable housing scheme that did not go as planned.

Fun fact, we have the lowest unemployment rate in ant top 25 major city.

My thought would be, if the city is okay with letting owners doing padsplit, why not just letting them rezone the property to multifamilies and build a multifamily apartment, which is a more legitimate solution. 2.
