Attention: Texas Real Estate Investors!

[Jessica Cooper]

Texas real estate investors, I have question about the Texas real estate market.

I am looking into investing in some real estate in Texas (Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio). But would like to get some insight and details about that market as I live in the Denver area and will be long-distance investing. 

First, the basics:  

   Where are you investing? 

   Are you investing in Single/Multi-family homes or other?

   How are the property taxes, insurance? How much do they change the strategy for investing. (ex: if investing in FL, its strongly encouraged to consider getting/having flood insurance. Which adds (Range per year) to account for when analyzing investment properties.) 

Second, more in depth:

   What are the down sides (if any), for investing in the Texas market? 

   What are the up sides for investing in the Texas market?

   Depending on where you're investing, is there areas that are hotter than others? 

   Depending on where you're investing, is there any areas that are not investing worthy?     

I appreciate any information.
