Dallas–Fort Worth was ranked the #1 U.S. metro for CRE investment in CBRE's 2025 Investor Intentions Survey. The region added roughly 124,000 residents in the year ending July 2025 (Census/FRED), Fort Worth is now the 10th-largest U.S. city, and Texas has no state income tax. Going-in yields are still wider here than in most coastal markets, which is the main reason out-of-state capital keeps showing up.

Entry points vary by asset class, and the floor moves with the market. Single-tenant net-lease retail is usually the lowest all-cash entry, small multifamily and value-add strip retail sit above it, and Class B office and infill industrial generally require more equity. Investors with less capital can use a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) interest, often inside a 1031. Tell me your check size on an intro call and I'll scope the pipeline to it with current asking prices.

Out-of-state investors, particularly from California, New York, Illinois, and the Pacific Northwest, have been a meaningful share of DFW capital for several years. The usual flow is a discovery call to define asset class, geography, leverage, and hold period, then a tailored deal pipeline with full underwriting, T-12s, rent rolls, and submarket comps delivered remotely. Virtual tours and third-party inspections handle the physical side, and closing is run through a Texas title company (and a Qualified Intermediary if it's a 1031). Plenty of clients have never set foot in Fort Worth before they close.

Same MSA, different markets. Dallas and the northern suburbs (Plano, Frisco, Richardson) trade at lower cap rates and tend to be the capital-preservation play. Fort Worth and the western and southern Tarrant submarkets generally trade wider in cap rate for comparable product (ask for current comps on a specific deal), with strong in-migration, a deep industrial base around AllianceTexas, and real upside in infill retail and office repositioning. Most clients end up allocating to both sides depending on the strategy.
