If you thought the investment party was over in Dallas, you’d be mistaken. A report from Dallas News proclaims that investors are buying up properties faster than ever in the Dallas market. Investor purchases made up some 8 percent of properties at all price points and 14 percent at lower price points in 2018.

Houston has been the top dog in real estate investing for awhile now...but could that title be usurped by its sister Texas city, Dallas? Signs are pointing to big things for Dallas real estate and real estate investors are taking note. A survey of 1,500 real estate professionals said they wouldn’t be as likely to put their money in those big cities that are slowly losing their luster—New York City, San Francisco, and the like. No, the survey ranked the Dallas-Fort Worth area number one overall, and just second for investors.

So what’s making Dallas real estate so hot? As one of the strongest markets out there right now, it’s important for investors to understand the why. 

The good people of the Lone Star state have one thing in common: a taste for good food and flavor. When you’re visiting Dallas, TX, you’d be missing out to skip the wide selection of quality, diverse eateries. While you’re visiting, don’t settle for food you can get anywhere. The eclectic and quality food scene in Dallas isn’t one to be missed.

For those of you coming to our Meet n Greet at our Dallas area offices in Grapevine, TX. this weekend, you are going to want to print this list and maybe try to catch one or two while you are in town!

Skip the chains stores and step into some of the top Dallas restaurants. Your tastebuds will thank you.

When we as real estate investors turn our eyes to a new region to invest in, it’s important for us to investigate the area. After all, we’re putting a lot of time, energy and capital towards real estate investing — shouldn’t we know what we’re getting into?

The Dallas-Fort Worth area of the Lone Star state is in the running as one of the best real estate markets in the country for 2015. Dallas-Fort Worth, along with sister cities Houston and Austin, were highlighted in the Emerging Trends in Real Estate report by the Urban Land Institute and PriceWaterhouseCoopers for their strong real estate fundamentals that set investors up for an excellent year.

We love Dallas as a company.  And....many of you may not know that all three of the Clothier bothers were born in the DFW metroplex and spent many of our early years in the area.  We still have family, friends and business associates there, so Dallas was a natural market for our company to grow into.  And speaking of growth...

As investors, we always need to keep pace with the markets we have our hands in and have our eyes peeled for what’s growing. Memphis Invest grew into the Dallas, TX market going on three years ago and that market has really taken off.  Today we have an incredible team at Dallas Invest, which is simply a satellite office.  A brand name if you will offering the same quality as Memphis and developing the same standards and culture as Memphis and the market is really responding well.

Lat year, we turned our eyes toward Houston, Texas as demand for more property from our clients continued to grow.  We wanted to offer choice.  But not just any choice...
