The virtue of the TIC structure is that they own a piece of real estate independent of you - it just happens to be a smaller property that is a % of a larger property that you also own some of. 

Texas is (I won't say immune.) highly resistant to the bubble or boom-and-bust phenomenon that occurs in many of the larger markets.  

We know pretty quickly how good our choice was, and I always go back to my screening criteria to see what I could change to screen that person out in the future.Before move in, here are some soft things to look for:- If someone is calling you every two hours asking for an update, being pushy, or taking up a lot of your time, that will not change after move in.- Ask them, in person or on the application, why they are moving.  

This goes from smaller properties managed in-house to larger properties managed by 3rd party management companies. 5.

I am looking to continue to grow my portfolio but with larger commercial or multifamily buildings. 

No matter your choice, SOMEONE must regularly inspect to make sure your property is not being abused.

In general, most larger developers will want a mix of units, with two-bedrooms being roughly 50% or more of the development.  1BRs would be 20% and 3BRs were 10% or less (per square foot the 1BRs make the most sense, but they are a little harder to rent on the average and have higher turnover).  

It is not your home to say whether the current renters stay or go so that is up to the owners choice. 

I have been studying the industry for a long time and feel that I can be successful here, although I do feel that perhaps I should move back to the larger market of Dallas, TX where I am originally from.

Also, that school has been my first choice for a while.
