Even when talking with some real estate professionals who would seem to have an incentive to help me with renting out my property, I have been met with serious warnings (they pretty much say don't do it).

That would probably require a professional. 

Best of luck, but again, I suggest hiring a professional. 

Shared housing provides affordable, flexible rental options for young professionals, remote workers, and students.As shown above, co-living properties have more demand than traditional two-bedroom units and appeal to a wider tenant base.2.

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.

Just like professional athletes who still work with coaches to hone their skills, a real estate mentor or coach can provide you with valuable insights, shortcuts, and strategies that can help you avoid mistakes and fast-track your success.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

These areas are experiencing significant development and population growth, driven by families and professionals seeking more affordable housing while staying close to the job hubs in Plano, Frisco, and even parts of North Dallas.

Were the installers skilled and professional?

FidelFidel,When I saw your question I got interested as most Canadian investors are rather running away (or pausing) from investing in RE in Canada.But to help in your journey, here's what I can share mostly from either my personal experience or discussion with relevant professionals.
