When a large landlord or equity fund lists a former rental property in Dallas-Fort Worth, the home that reaches the market is not always what a buyer expects. These were investment assets managed for cash flow, not curb appeal. Deferred maintenance is common. Cosmetic updates were rarely a priority. And for buyers drawn to the ...
