The economy and in Dallas is driven by industries such as business and financial services, transportation and logistics, telecom, technology, and natural resources.

I've employed smart home technologies to easily control and monitor access to my properties.

Remember you are saving money by not having a PM so spend some of that money on technology and systems that will make your life easier. 

I have an extensive technology background in addition to real estate.

I fully agree that those cities - towns listed by Vicram C are worth considering as that's where people are moving which is mostly the sun belt and high technology places like some cities in Oregon state or California.

I don't know about dish technology evolution much, but at least up until recently, line of site has been important for dishes, so I would recommend meeting with the installer to determine where the post should/can go as it is site specific (or at least it used to be).

With today's technology you can take all the pictures you want and compare it with what you have. 

Instead they look at each technology from the viewpoint of "will this put people out of work or in some way harm our society?"

If it is a cheaper manufactured home, then you may need to add improvements and amenities for your guests (elevated interior design, landscaping and exterior design, smart technology, guest hospitality services...)

There are also other meetup groups and a BP meetup on Dec.4 at Limericks pub @7pm. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/63...I would also suggest REIN, the meetings are quite good and they are introducing some new real estate technologies and changing the direction of REIN.
