Question 2

Is now a good time to buy Fort Worth multifamily?

Accepted Answer

Conditions favor buyers with a 5–7 year horizon.

Question 3

Can I 1031 into Fort Worth multifamily from out of state?

Accepted Answer

Yes - and most out-of-state multifamily investors come in via 1031. Start identifying replacement properties 60–90 days before your relinquished property closes; the IRS 45-day identification window moves quickly in this market.

Question 4

What about insurance and property taxes?

Accepted Answer

Insurance cost inflation and Texas property-tax reassessment at sale are the two underwriting line items most likely to surprise out-of-state buyers. Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are higher than the national average. Local underwriting is non-negotiable - coastal models almost always understate both.
