Thanks @Bruce Woodruff and @Scott Davis, appreciate your input!

I am looking for cash flow or appreciation in other markets.

I appreciate the direction. 

However, the other benefits of owning real estate are: - Taxes (depreciation/potential accelerated depreciation)- Appreciation (this is NOT always guaranteed, but over time, you will have appreciation)- Building equity (in this scenario, as long as rent is paid, you'll build about $140 monthly in equity)Please note some expenses that are missing from this are: - Management fees (8-10% on average, if applicable)- Estimated vacancy costs (2-3%)- Estimated repairs (5%)Disclaimer: I am a real estate investor and own four rental properties. 

Hey Charlie, I appreciate the help.

Universal Studios Kids Park will open in 2026 - 10 mins away drive (3.8 miles) away from this rental property.What are your thoughts on house appreciation if you are a Dallas / Texas RE investor?

I suppose the inflation adjusted 88% home price appreciation since 2000 has forced the nightly rates up to point now where short term rentals are just an all around crappy experience.

If the return is primarily from assumed appreciation, I would absolutely pass. 

Just an honest reply from someone who once thought like you 🤣 Thanks for your honesty, I can appreciate that.
