I'm a real estate agent and investor in Killeen. Although the federal government is the largest employer in Killeen, employment in health care and education is on the rise since we've had a lot of new economic development in those areas. We've had incredible population growth too. The population increased 43% over the past 10 years according to the last census. I'm heavily invested in Killeen and Copperas Cove (7 income properties) and I'm not concerned at all. I'm looking to expand my holdings much further.
There is a lot of competition here and we have a complex rental market that is loaded with pitfalls. It's best to find a mentor/agent that really knows how to navigate this rental market to minimize risks to your real estate portfolio.
