That's the DD of the individual to decide, what fit's for YOU, in your unique situation, the "worth-it" question.     

That's corroborated by one of my friends who's an experienced market manager at Airbnb, who told me that the overall majority of travellers don't have any issue commuting for up to 2 hours between the airport and their accommodation.

Brilliant ideas, my friend!

We also opened up to dog friendly. 

After a few months he must of told his friend that the house was empty (and I was out of state) and gave then the key he stole.Apparently they've been there for 3 months or so and I was able to get her phone number and was trying to be nice and give her the chance to leave willingly before involving police/court.

😂 Feel free to reach out, I'm always glad to make new connections.Sounds like we are pretty similar my friend.

Here are some considerations for investing in a duplex in the Dallas area and potential alternatives:Investing in a Duplex:If you rent out one property, you can possibly create positive cash flow by partially offsetting your living expenditures.If you're an investor with limited funds, duplexes could be a more accessible alternative because they may have lower entry expenses than bigger multifamily properties.Perform in-depth market research in the Dallas region to pinpoint communities that have high demand for rentals and good prospect for real estate growth.Take a look at owner-occupant-friendly financing choices including FHA loans, which frequently have less down payments.Make sure you have a well-defined escape plan.

Also, if they get behind and you kick them out because of it, they lose their section 8 assistance and the waiting list is years long so they do NOT want that and find money when they need to (through friends, charities, etc.).What I don't like:  Yearly inspections.   

Here I thought TX was landlord friendly.

Any like-minded individuals would be more than welcome.
