The Dallas-Fort Worth metro tops CONTI Capital's list of the best US cities for multifamily investment, as the region outperforms in job growth, total employment (and office-using employment) and labor force participation.

The metrics "speak to the structural strength of the DFW economy and its long-term development trajectory," CONTI Capital analysts say — and they also are a testament to the market's diversification and resilience, which "is not overly exposed to any one industry." In addition, DFW has been the single best market for total population growth over the last decade.  The amount of people living in the market increased by about 122,000 per year.

"While we expect the pace of corporate and individual in-migration to moderate somewhat over the next few years, the organic growth of companies and the local population will be sufficient to drive DFW multifamily to new heights," CONTI Capital predicts.
