I'm actually interviewing PMs and CO Hosts this week, and Handyman for installation of all the furnishings set to show up at the property in January. 

I am unsure my co-sign will be any assistance on an OO purchase.  

I'm a CO based STR investor and STR-focused agent.

I’m a Colorado commercial insurance broker and have a lot of carriers available in my agency.  

I don't know the Dallas market, but it seems that midterm rentals do well in the Denver suburbs here in Colorado.

If I were in your shoes I would simply look for a co-signer to a loan and look for a small-multi family in your home town where you can house hack.

She co-owns other cash flowing rental with me that she paid her 20% deposit on.

Im not sure if I do enough to call it active but it's my only gig right now since I retired .No involvement , I go check on the property in Colorado on occasion to check it out the condition.from my decades of doing this you pay income tax to the state you live in..
