Need insight with current rental inventory in Houston Area

[Billie Chen]

Hello BP community,

I'm current looking at homes in Tomball and The Woodlands/Spring area right outside of Houston.  Mainly homes in good school district.  I feel the numbers make sense, but I don't have any insight on the rental market for single family homes.  There are a lot more large multifamily complexes coming up, or already finished.  Can anyone in the area share with me the typical time it takes to rent out a house?  Would it be better to look into a 4-2, rather than a 3-2 so I am not in competition with apartment complexes? 

Thanks for your time.
