invest or buy to live (Houston, TX)

[Richard Ojeda]

I need advice. We put our house up for sale in Houston, TX so we can move our kids to a better school district. We are leasing a house for 1 year; we are 8 months in to the lease. Question is, do I buy a house for us to live in or use the money to invest in property? Multi Family units don't seem to be an option since most are in areas I would not have my family live in and school districts are not up to par. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We have $50k to invest
