I feel the Greater tyler area is slow because population is not as explosive as DFW. 

Austin’s explosive growth and rapid appreciation certainly created unique challenges, but it’s interesting to see the city still holding strong on demand, especially with so much new supply.

The housing explosion of the late 90s/early 2000s saw expansion to the outer portions of the city and 4-plexes were not a part of that expansion.

@William Coet it’s a different business model altogether.I love highly desirable areas that attract highly skilled high income college educated workforces.They tend to be more liberal and therefore the landlord tenant laws.The percent of their income that goes to rent is typically much less than 20% so a rental increase of 5-10% is nothing to them.They are typically lower cap rate areas and therefore every dollar of net operating income that is earned is explosive to the underlying asset value.

However, as I look at today’s market, I see that the conditions that allowed for explosive growth back then have changed.

I don't see "explosive" growth happening.

With proximity to the explosive growth happening in Sherman, TX, on paper, huge potential.

When economic activity is explosive, there is a natural increase in demand for the currency required to facilitate it. 

The mainland, near the Speedway, has experienced some explosive growth due to the new One Daytona development and the Speedway expansion/renovations.
