Hello BP fam:I am in the Providence RI market with one deal under my belt.

That's a good size area so I would continue to market and figure out which way can convert the best.

Denton has suggested shortage of 4000 units right now.Some of these markets like Arlington, Denton and Edinburg have other demand drivers as a backup plan in case students shift to online or move away from going to college.

and see what skills you might have to add some value as a side hustle.Things started to happen organically as I got more involved in the Chicago real estate market, and I am confident they will for you, too!

So all that is a combo of urban and suburban.You’ve brought up some interesting points about the shifting dynamics in the Dallas and Austin markets.

So I guess my first question would be for anyone investing in Texas, where are the good markets?  

They should be responsive and communicate clearly, possess a strong understanding of the local market, offer reasonable rates, and support borrowers throughout the process, all while ensuring legal compliance to protect your interests.

Recently, I have shifted my focus towards identifying property flipping opportunities in smaller markets in the SE, and I am enthusiastic about the prospect of forging new professional relationships and connections.

This is assuming the rental has been on the market for a while, is priced competitively, and the asset is in good condition.If you aren't getting enough qualified applicants, you can adjust 2 different things; the qualifications or the rental amount. 

@Jason Guenther Not sure of what is available in your market, but I downsized from a large Victorian mansion to a duplex 5 years ago.
