I Reviewed Every Deal From The Last 10 Days. These Are The Best.

Best Plug-And-Play SFR Rentals
Link» Sierra Vista Portfolio Rosharon
$289k–$346k | 6.02%–7.11% Cap | 2022–2023 Build
This is the easiest out-of-state rental portfolio I’ve posted this month. These are newer construction homes in a master-planned community with tenants already in place, professional management, good schools, low crime, and lease terms running into 2026 and 2027. The returns are not the highest on this list, but the combination of condition, neighborhood quality, occupancy, and ease of ownership is best of the best.

Best Combo Of Location + Income Duplex
Link» 12304 Burr Ridge Austin
$750k | 6% Cap | 1981 Build
This Northwest Austin duplex is already producing $5,750/month near Cedar Park and Austin’s tech corridor. One side is leased long-term at $2,150/month, and the other side is running as a furnished rental at $3,600+/month. If both sides were operated furnished, the income could push materially higher, but the current rent profile is already strong for this location.

Best New Construction Dallas Duplex
Link» 1654 Hudspeth Ave Dallas
$675k | 6.5% Cap | 2024 Build
This is a fully leased 2024-built Dallas duplex producing $5,700/month today. Both sides are large 5 bed / 3.5 bath units leased at $2,850/month each, with low-maintenance new construction near the VA Hospital, downtown Dallas, Bishop Arts, and Oak Cliff. The seller already reduced below my original $700k target, so I’d start around $675k and try to get a real conversation going at a great discount.

Best New Construction Cash Flow Duplex
Link» 6307 Sandra St Houston
$350k | 8.04% Cap | 2024 Build
This is one of the highest yield new-construction cash-flow duplexes on the list. The property is 100% occupied with $3,875/month already locked in, and both leases run into 2027. Unit A is backed by a Salvation Army Section 8 program at $2,100/month, and Unit B is leased through Houston Housing Authority at $1,775/month, giving an investor high current income with little deferred maintenance or collection risk.

Best Corporate Lease Duplex
Link» 7926 Count St Houston
$350k | 8.36% Cap | 2024 Build
This is a 2024-built Houston duplex with full occupancy and long-term leases already in place. Unit A is leased as a furnished corporate / Airbnb rental at $1,875/month through March 2027, and Unit B is leased at $1,800/month through May 2027. The income is slightly lower than 6307 Sandra, but the tenant mix is attractive for buyers who want high cash flow without relying on subsidized housing.

Best Small Portfolio
Link» 3600 Hulen Park Fort Worth
$875k | 7.7% Cap | 1985 Build
This is a 100% occupied Fort Worth 6-door portfolio producing $8,745/month in current rent. It includes three duplexes with 2 bed / 1 bath layouts, garages, private yards, and several recent updates. Professional management has already been in place for more than 10 years, which makes this one of the easiest small portfolio transitions for an out-of-area buyer.

Best STR / MTR Cash Flow Deal
Link» 3206 Heather Glen Mesquite
$380k | 31.02% Gross Yield | 1972 Build
This is the most aggressive short-term rental cash-flow deal in the batch. It produced $102,485 in 2024 STR revenue on a $380,000 purchase price, then converted to a mid-term rental in 2025 and still produced $57,600 for the year. The MTR lease recently ended and it has been relaunched on Airbnb, which creates a rare chance to buy a proven 6-figure revenue STR at a normal single-family rental price point.

Best House Hack / Premium Location Play
Link» 2804 Arlington St Houston
$475k | 6% Cap | 1965 Build
This is a two-house setup inside the loop in Houston with $3,900/month already in place. The front 2 bed / 1 bath house rents for $2,400/month, and the rear 1 bed / 1 bath guest house rents for $1,500/month. Keep it as a full long-term rental, or live in one house and let the other cover a major part of your monthly payment.

The Honorable Mention

Highest Rent-To-Price Ratio Quadplexes
Link» 4029 Briar Hollow Dickinson
$325k each | 9% Cap | 1974 Build
These fully occupied Dickinson quadplexes are producing $3,730–$3,935/month per building at a $325k price point. That is the best rent-to-price ratio I’ve posted in months, and it’s especially high for a fully occupied fourplex. The reason this is an honorable mention instead of a headline deal is the flood-zone / insurance complexity, but the current numbers are still very strong even after accounting for premiums.
