Quote from @John Paul Palace: Our plan was to invest locally, however our market here is tough.

But for the best local advice, make local connections in the market with Host groups and Rental Associations.

Hello Gagan, Some important tools and resources I incorporate into my business to help finding deals is to network with local investors.

You’re in an ideal market for growth—DFW is full of active investors and countless networking opportunities through local meetups.

My main job is running my investment holding company, so I'm familiar with public and private market investments but new to RE. 

Many months of costly vacancy, local market rent & resale deteriation, special assessments, property taxes and maintanance fees suggest a quick sale would have been the wise thing to do 2 years ago.

That's the nature of the market in 2025.

I highly recommend investing in a property management software, such as Hospitable, for syncing your calendar, automating messaging, and scheduling cleans, as well as a dynamic pricing tool, such as PriceLabs, for optimizing your pricing based on market demand, local events, and seasonality.
