They are a bit undersized but perfectly suitable for 1 bedroom apartments and the slight increase in costs is far less than the costs associated with venting the units properly.

I'm thinking my home might be more suitable for a family anyway being that it is a 3/2.  

Everything comes with a risk but I want to hear everyone's opinions for both states in the long run, thanks in advance It really depends on your style and goals and type of investing.I invest in multiple states and there can be some substantial differences.First decide if you want to do Flips, Long Term Rentals, Short Term Rentals, Shared Housing, Multi Family, Land, Tax Deeds, REITs, Syndication, Commercial and then decide. 

Good Morning @Michael Tempel I looked into CoStar, is this only for commercial style properties?  

Initially I really wanted to do a STR down in North Padre Texas (as it is a place I have vacationed for years and have stayed in at least 8-10 of the STR in the exact complex im looking into, I see how my STR could stand out amongst the rest since Im huge fisherman down there and that is mainly what those STR are used as, already have boat rental option setup if I go this route, list of fishing and possible guides to go with depending on style of fishing, family, fun, hardcore wade fisherman etc etc and equipment rental available for those that do not have.), the places im looking at are decent $ properties that after running through calculators etc showing 18-22% CoC after management fees etc.But after listening to BP for about a month, now thinking BRRRR possibly and doing up here in the DFW area.

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.

Will make this pursuit their full-time job for the next several years, and commit whatever they have, aside from a suitable personal emergency fund, to the thesis.  

Another lever you can pull is marketing the units in a different way if you havent explore getting professional photos done or styling the unit further with a professional decorator.

It might be worth testing a few until you find the one that best fits your style and business model.

Check a few out and see what fits your style.
