McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

Hi @Ben Scott what does a 3 bed 2 bath $225-$250k 1300sf new construction bring for rents in OKC?

And my new MTR tenant demanded the beds get maid and there was no hangers in the closest.. my last tenants must have stolen them.. then they wanted stuff moved from the garage which I told them thats enough I will give you your deposit back and you can go find another fully furnished home in Vegas I am not doing anything else.. they backed down but I know they are going to be whinny this after the last 6 or 7 tenants never heard a peep.. properties needed just light cleaning at turnover  etc.. so some good with some bad it happens.

The new design takes the home from a 3 bed, 2 bath to a 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,400 sq ft rambler on a large lot in highly desired area.

I definitely need to do more analysis in terms of comparing against other rentas in the area and ideal beds and heads count. 

We just completed 6-unit one bed one bath apartment in midtown Sacramento, CA As we are considering doing MTR, your feedback on how to move forward with this plan is appreciated  

This property is unique in that we can rent out the whole property or we can rent out the property by individual rooms because each room has its own bathroom and it runs as a bed and breakfast.

So I am sure they don't want pesky DTR operators stealing their bed and food and alcohol revenue.

Rentredi seems to do it all but the reviews for it say there are a lot of bugs and a lot of hidden fees.
