Investing in high prop tax state without the income tax benefits?

[Loren Neufeld]

I currently am living in CA and just cashed out my investment property and am looking for a new market to invest in. My goal is to start buying and holding a portfolio of cash flowing properties through BRRRR method to help leverage my funds to there max potential. I have 200k to deploy but have been having a tough time narrowing down my search. I like a lot of the economic indicators: jobs, population growth, appreciation potential in Texas but I'm a touch weary about the high property tax rates while I'm unable to take advantage of no state income tax. I know if the numbers still work out to meet my criteria its just another line item. But I'm also considering making it a rule of thumb to stay out of the Lone Star State? Also with the potential passing of the Property Tax Reform and Relief Act of 2019, authored by Bettencourt (R-Houston) this could be less of a concern. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
