In neighborhood it is very important to present your self to the home owner next to you, this helps a lot to prevent misunderstandings. also this shows your professionalism.

The area has attracted a lot of new young professionals with their work from home marketing that gives $10,000 to qualified families to help them establish themselves in the area.

You lose all of the control and these are long term investments - but in my experience the returns match what I had on the active real estate and I am hiring professionals to manage the assets.  

Not a ton of young professionals except in government roles (Carson City's largest employment option), or if they want a slower pace but are still willing to commute to Reno. 

RentRedi checked all the boxes for me, RentRedi made this first time property novice, show up as a complete professional management service.I can list my property Receive/review Pre-qual apps, full application and access to the background check with ease.Schedule showings, send approval emailsSet up my rentals and collect rent electronically.Handle maintenance and so much more all through the RentRedi app.

The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.

They were professional, prompt and great to work with. 

That said, I highly recommend speaking with a local professional in the DFW area to get insights tailored to your specific goals.

To me the biggest takeaway is that as real estate professionals, we always talk about location, location, location.

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck!
