Open lawsuit where property is located or where the Owner lives?

[Janikka K. White]

I have a investment property is Tulsa, OK. But I live in Dallas, TX. The home was renovated. The home was just rented out 2 weeks ago. The tenants 1st 2 weeks in home, almost everything that could break or stop working, did. I asked the contractor about it and the contractor basically did not own up to the many many mistakes and states the money is gone and issues can't be fixed. I have had to re-pay for all the major issues to get fixed seeing as I have a tenant and family in the home. I am still fixing major issues today. I would like to sue as I believe I have a pretty good case and evidence. So...

1. Should I open the case in Tulsa, where the rental property and contractor is located or here in Dallas where I live?

2. Any and all advice you all can give would be GREATLY appreciated.
