  • Disposable income after housing costs significantly impacts sustainable rent growth, with San Antonio showing concerning affordability metrics despite high occupancy rates.
  • Migration and job stability data reveal nuanced trends within Texas, with Dallas appearing balanced, Austin facing short-term challenges, and San Antonio presenting a high-risk, high-reward scenario.
