Dallas STR market context

Dallas is primarily a long-term-rental market. STR demand exists but the revenue uplift over LTR is modest and operational complexity is meaningful.

DFW continues to offer balanced cash flow and appreciation. Focus on B-class neighborhoods inside the LBJ loop for the best long-term rent stability.

Verify STR permit availability at the parcel level before closing.
Apply a 75% haircut to top-quartile AirDNA comps when projecting revenue.
Budget 35–45% expense ratio (cleaning, supplies, management, channel fees, utilities).
Model a long-term-rental fallback scenario in case STR rules tighten.
