The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.

Credit score shouldn't be the primary driver of tenant approval, because if they could qualify for a mortgage they probably wouldn't be renters.

Hiring a lawyer sounds expensive, but it is way cheaper than hiring a amateur (in this case yourself) who costs you money and provides no results (and then you need to hire a professional anyway).My personal philosophy is to "do it right, or do it twice" and its way cheaper to do it right once. 

I have filed for eviction on one tenant that I have placed in my career, and I was able to negotiate him out long before the court date. 99% of the time, eviction should not be a driver for whether you invest. 

., the appraisal for 5+ is at least $2k-$3k) and the financing structure by lenders because Fannie/Freddie don't generally buy loans for commercial properties.So, for you personally, the biggest driver for the type of your next property is probably going to be the amount of a down payment/equity you can put in the property.

I am hoping to find a reasonably priced photographer to take some sharp  photos of a Property. 
The property is in San Marcos, Texas. That’s a little south of Austin, Texas.
Can somebody make any recommendations or...

A professional property manager should handle the heavy lifting, ensuring your investment is protected and profitable without adding stress to your plate.

Not only is the FedEx super hub close by(as @Aristotle Kumpis mentioned), but airports in general are usually near commerce drivers, meaning they work well for finding good tenants.
