Hi Kedric, welcome and I'm in the Atlanta Market.

DFW is a fantastic market for multi-family investments, thanks to its strong job and population growth.

-why not pick a market closer to home? 

While Treasuries are often viewed as "risk-free" investments, certain real estate deals in today’s market offer a compelling alternative—especially when purchased at a deep discount.Take, for example, a 1,000+ unit apartment complex in a suburb near Michigan.

This will make it a lot easier to manage, will cost you less than buying on the market and typically you can get 1:1 rent returns.

@Cosmo DePinto, I can provide further insight on behalf of my market.

This year I may see if if I can get a construction loan to build 20-30 apartments, then refinance with an asset based lender. what markets?

In Cleveland you can find below market rental ready duplexes that require minor repairs (keep in mind that discounted properties come with their own challenges).

While Colorado's market can be challenging due to high prices, exploring suburbs like Colorado Springs or Pueblo, or even considering out-of-state markets in the Midwest or Southeast, can open up better cash flow opportunities.

I think it's very dependent on the property and market.
