If that’s the case, I’d recommend considering areas outside of Dallas proper where you can still find properties with strong growth potential.Cities like Prosper, Melissa, Princeton, and Anna are excellent options to explore.

Best of luck 👍🏻 @Justin This is almost perfect advice but you do need 3.5% down with an FHA mortgage.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

I update my prices weekly, adjusting just a bit here and there according to my own research.

Sharing this idea in case others can comment on it.Hi @Joaquin Camarasa, hope everything is fine.Investing with a vehicle like a Spanish SL (equivalent of an LLC in the US) would be interesting to research as from that moment it doesn't matter if you are a US citizen or living still in the US.

While you work on that, you could also explore creative financing options like DSCR loans or partnerships to fast-track your first STR.

Average occupancy at time of sale this year was about 50%.
