Hi everyone , I was going to buy one of the investment on Houston Texas , now one of my friend who loves to travel told me, she think Austin Texas is better than Houston, specially weather wise. But she is not on real estate. I did research Austin seems has lower property tax then Texas? I could be wrong. Any advice which property is better? Thank you!

Austin = a better place to live

Houston = a better place to invest.

Oddly, there is an inverse relationship between places to live and places to invest.  San Diego (where I live) is the best place to live IMO.  But a terrible place to invest.
