@Cheng ChuMcKinney is a fantastic market with strong population growth, and it’s a great choice for single-family home (SFH) investments.

If you're working with an investment brokerage, I'd recommend tapping into Tampa and Central Florida markets too—areas like Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and Brandon have been strong for both flips and long-term holds with steady demand.

It's going to offer Strong economic growth, Appreciation (especially in DFW), Tax advantages (no state income tax), and a Growing population, including infrastructure and amenities. 

These areas offer strong appreciation potential, steady growth, and stability.

A close friend of mine in Houston once had a client who owned two properties across different states.With your North Port place being so fresh (2021 build) and on a canal, you’ve got strong appeal for folks looking to enjoy that waterfront Florida vibe.

That being said, rental rates are remaining fairly strong, and with such an equitable position in your property, your cash flow should remain a positive net to you. 

This deal leveraged strategic financing, value-add renovations, and market knowledge to deliver a strong return.

We’re working in a smaller market like Cornelia, GA, where comparable sales data can be limited, and want to make sure we present a strong case to lenders.

Use your $30k for down payment or initial rehab but budget extra for unexpected repairs.Your lead methods (D4D, DealMachine) are strong.

I'm not sure why not - one of the great parts about real estate investing is that you can build a team around you for aspects you aren't as strong at or simply want to delegate to someone/expert and do the others yourself - look up "Core 4" for example - where you can have an agent, lender, manager, contractor all at once for your investments and can theoretically just let them do all the interactive work
