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.

I’m finding a hard time finding comps for a long term rental.

If you plan to live there in the winters, you might have a hard time doing long term rental outside of that and finding a new tenant every summer.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

For rentals, would a single floor or two floors makes sense? 

From what you wrote it sounds like the rental you own is your sole, pre-marital property.

Can not go wrong with a rental in Ashburn since the rents have increased so much. 

Hi Zachary,Congrats on starting your rental property journey!

I am looking to expand my rentals & looking at the idea of doing something unique in a more remote location.What have you found with Tiny Homes, Tree House, Secluded Cabins, etc.?

Yeah the law changed I believe back in 2020.You cannot do short term rental with an HPR unless you own both sides.
