I am a transplant from Ca who migrated north!

You'd make a lot of mistakes along the way (especially if you're trying to learn how to do a heart transplant), but you'd eventually get there.

I'm a recent transplant from Canada to the US.I remember looking at US properties as a Canadian, and one of the challenges I hit alot was financing; US institutions wanted to see US based W2 income and US credit history (assuming say a pretty straight forward conventional investor mortgage, not a commercial mortgage) that felt like a significant roadblock.One thing to note though is that some of the major Canadian banks (BMO, TD, RBC) have major US operations; and with those, comes the ability to secure financing based on your Canadian source income, and Canadian credit history.This is a phenomenal resource for most Canadians (albeit you're limited often to only one property purchase as part of these programs, and some will restrict it to "vacation/second home" only, no investor/rental).

I started in early 2009 as a CA transplant and have not looked back.

I definitely understand that Robert, I'm a Colorado transplant from Florida (licensed there as well) so I know what you mean about the warmer weather 😂 there are some really great markets in Florida, like Tampa for example, not to mention they have investor friendly laws.

Not sure anyone can really tell you in DFW what the best mid-term market is.I would think in medical district would be one.....the other near Baylor....think about people with longer term stays like transplants....that can generate 1-2-3 month family stays or longer.....so that's going to be UTSW and Baylor.
