Urban markets are the best markets for MTRs.

Your focus on the Dallas market and Fix and Flip projects sounds solid, especially with the DIY approach and having an interior designer on your team. 

I have tried both, I think it depends on the market you are targeting and the type of leads.

The good ones will have access to off-market deals. 

I am happy to share some info on these sub markets if you like. 

What was your process to lock in on that market? 

I have had many conversations with her friends about the differences in our markets and  have recognized for a while now that there may be some mutually beneficial opportunities to work with Canadian investor specifically. 

But my suggestion for future listings.Look at days on market in the area that you are going to list.

Depends on your goals and the current market.

I have looked at other coastal markets that are less expensive than Charleston proper.
