💸 From Miami to Houston: Why Florida Investors Are Betting Big on Texas Real Estate 🤠

🌴 Why Florida Investors Are Moving Capital to Texas

For years, Florida has been a magnet for real estate investors chasing sunshine, population growth, and strong rental demand. But as the market matures — and prices climb — a growing number of Florida-based investors are now redirecting capital to Texas, seeking better yields, lower taxes, and scalable opportunities.

At Medallion Funds, we’re seeing this trend firsthand as investors trade the beaches of Miami for the booming corridors of Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. Here’s why this capital migration is accelerating — and how Texas is becoming the new investment frontier.

1. Tax and Policy Advantages

Texas and Florida both lack state income tax, but Texas often wins on property tax offset and commercial incentives. Many Florida investors are discovering that Texas municipalities offer aggressive incentives for job creation, development, and investment in industrial, retail, and multifamily projects.

Plus, local governments in Texas are more pro-business, cutting through red tape that often delays permitting and approvals in coastal markets.

2. Population & Job Growth: The Engine Behind Returns

Florida’s population boom has plateaued, while Texas continues to add nearly 1,000 new residents daily. The influx of corporate relocations, tech firms, and energy expansion — especially around Houston’s Energy Corridor and Austin’s tech hub — creates massive demand for housing, logistics, and office space.

For investors, that means consistent rent growth, strong absorption, and lower vacancy risk across most Texas metros.

3. Lower Entry Costs & Higher Yields

A Class B multifamily property in Miami might trade at a 4.5% cap rate, while a comparable asset in Houston could still offer 6%–7% — with lower insurance premiums and less exposure to coastal climate risk.

Similarly, Texas offers industrial and IOS (Industrial Outdoor Storage) opportunities at price points that Florida simply can’t match. For yield-driven investors, that’s a clear invitation.

4. Infrastructure & Development Momentum

Texas is investing heavily in infrastructure expansion, from the I-10 corridor to Grand Parkway in West Houston, creating new development zones and connecting key logistics routes.

Florida, meanwhile, faces tighter land constraints and more regulatory oversight. Texas’ pro-growth stance continues to attract developers and institutional capital alike.

5. The Financing Edge

For those deploying capital in Texas, the lending landscape is equally attractive. Lenders prefer markets with strong fundamentals and liquidity, and Texas consistently ranks among the most favored for both bank and non-bank originations.

Through Medallion Funds, investors can access bridge loans, DSCR loans, and long-term commercial financing structured for cash flow and scalability.

Final Takeaway

Florida will always be a prime market — but for investors chasing growth, Texas offers the next great expansion story. Lower acquisition costs, faster growth, and business-friendly governance make it a logical next step for portfolio diversification.

👉 At Medallion Funds, we help investors seamlessly transition capital into Texas assets — whether that’s a stabilized multifamily deal, a retail strip in Katy, or an industrial yard in Brookshire.
