@Gil CanfuWith a $300k price range, you're definitely in a good position to find some solid investment opportunities in the North Texas market.

Housing is still affordable compared to other markets, which keeps renters and investors coming.

I don't know about other areas in TX, but I keep a close eye on Austin-SAN corridor, and I'm familiar with the market in Kyle, New Braunfels and NE San Antonio.

If you have a lot of family in OK, that can be a great place to start assessing since you have dedicated boots on the ground, as well as a reason to visit.Don't overthink the analyzing of markets when you are still figuring things out.

I would consider getting 1-2 deals on market before you purchase off-market.

Very solid market, been investing there over 10 yrs and the rents continue to climb!
