I'm originally from BR and am fairly active there. we see a lot of inventory so also happy to chat offline about this

I looked at the market and see there's a large selection of 4bed/2bath homes in your price range.

At one 2 unit building there were seperate gas lline, seperately metered but the only appliance was a gas range in each unit. 

This translates to high rental demand and potential for appreciation.Diverse Opportunities: From bustling metropolises like Miami and Orlando to charming beach towns and vacation destinations, Florida caters to a wide range of investment strategies.

I do think multfamily would mint more cash flow but pricing is a bit out of current range.

It's not easy in DFW right now due to the price runups over the past few years and now slowdown in the market.What price range do you want to be in?

Obviously, a lot depends on your price range here and exactly what you're looking for. 

and because of that demand, people will accept lower returns, and the good inventory gets snapped up before a lot of us even see it.the 'best' investments right now are the higher effort / higher risk ones. 

Here's a good article about current inventory versus pre-Covid.

Putting it all together: If I were starting over and looking for a house-hack in Denver, CO today, I'd be looking for a 4 bed / 3 bath property in the $500K - $600K range in an up and coming area (like Aurora near the medical campus).
