I took out a mortgage on the property in November to help make repairs and rent it out.

Basically just venting with this post, but if anyone has any advice that would help, I'm all ears. 

I used a realtor to help me with MLS posts and find off market deals.

Property managers and agents can be really helpful as well as they’ll give you insight into the market and could have some opportunities for you down the road.In the meantime, try researching the areas you're interested in.

Thank you to @Owen Rosen for helping me with the insurance on this one.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Knowing these boundaries can help you zero in on profitable, compliant locations.Timing is crucial when it comes to approvals.

You may able to find someone local in Dallas who could help you.I've also known investors who do rent by the room.

Currently Im in the process of renovating an ADU above my garage to become my first STR, its a slow process but am looking for some expert contracting help that won't break the bank!
