Located in Northern Texas, Dallas is the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the nation. Historically, Dallas was one of the most important centers for the oil and cotton industries due to its strategic position along numerous railroad lines.

In the last five years, many companies from cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles have started exploring the nation to find the best cities for relocation, and many of them have targeted Dallas as a prime spot to relocate. There are a variety of reasons for this, including Texas’ business-friendly environment (ie: lower cost of doing business, lower taxes, and fewer business regulations) and also the lower cost of living for employees.

*Home value and rent averages are based on the average for 3 bedroom homes in the greater DFW metro area.


Why Invest Here?

The Dallas metro area has become a popular place to invest in buy and hold real estate. This is especially true for investors looking to purchase cash flowing property in a rapidly growing market, while prices are still low, and watching their equity grow.

Dallas home values are more affordable than the national average today.

Dallas Real Estate Market Median Home Value 2018

  • In January 2018 the median purchase price of 3 bedroom single family homes in the Dallas metro area was $191,000. This is 6% lower than the national average of $202,000.
  • In the neighborhoods where RWN members invest the median price of 3 bedroom homes was $174,000 in January 2018. This is 14% lower than the national average of $202,000.
  • This shows us that home values in Dallas are slightly more affordable than the average home nationwide.

It’s possible to generate passive monthly income from Dallas investment properties.

  • In January 2018 the median monthly rent for 3 bedroom homes in Dallas was $1,525, which is 0.80% of the purchase price of $191,000. This is higher than the national average of 0.71%.
  • In the neighborhoods where RWN members invest the median monthly rent of 3 bedroom homes was $1,475, which is 0.85% of the $174,000 purchase price.

People are moving to Dallas at a much faster rate than most other cities across the nation today.

Dallas Real Estate Market Population Growth 2012-2018

  • Between 2010 and 2017, Dallas’s population increased by over 15%, which is 186% faster than the national population growth during the same period.

  • In the last year Dallas added 116,000 new jobs to their economy – an annual growth rate of 3.23%. This is significantly higher than the national job growth rate of 1.7% during the same period.
  • This shows us that there are more jobs being created in the Dallas area than most other U.S. cities today.

Dallas is Still Affordable & Cash Flowing

  • In the neighborhoods where RWN members invest the median price of 3 bedroom homes was $174,000 in January 2018. This is 14% lower than the national average of $202,000.
