Treehouse lovers and petting zoo lovers just don’t overlap that much (although now that I think about it, my 5 year old niece would love that, haha).A big takeaway here is that you don't have to follow what everyone else is doing - standing out might drive insane returns if you're targeting the right underserved needs.

Area is north of the city close to Airport, zoo, city, but is very light on immediately close services like box restaurants, coffee shops etc. 

The exact amount of the tax varies, but wages will always to low compared to the cost-of-living because that is the price paid to live where people want to vacation, where the weather is as good as anywhere in the US, where you can be in the beach, mountains, and dessert in the same day, where there are world class attractions like the zoo, safari park, Sea World, Legoland, etc., where it is so difficult to increase the supply.

Close to the Toledo Zoo and Ernest Brewing How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

In cash for you and you buy from them for a small fee.or you do hard money and refinance in a few months...cost of doing business.It's a zoo out there.

Within walking distance of the zoo, food/coffee shops, the golf course, and Big Bear Mountain!

Lease states no pets, tenant can have a virtual zoo and not be evicted.  

These areas have more of an urban feel and come with a lot of things you'd expect from a city (plethora of restaurant options, nightlife, colleges, zoos, theater, etc).

I am about to close on a 600k 2 story 5 bedroom luxury home in south Dallas near the zoo.
