Depends on how you source your deals and how "active" you want to be and how risky you are comfortable with your investment being. I live in Dallas and did one property in San Leon that was great -- but it took a ton of hands on time and driving to Houston on the weekends. Houston is notoriously "street-to-street" but following this "crime map" is not a bad way to avoid slums and ensure your first buy n hold is at least a safe, smart first step. https://crimegrade.org/safest-...
