Long-distance investors investing in Houston, TX?
Hey fellow investors,
Anyone outside of Texas investing in Houston? I know it's one of the hottest markets - what are the pros and cons of investing there?
Thanks!

Hey Shu,
Great questions, I have been investing in Houston for about 10 years. Let's connect and you can see my numbers under my profile.
For pros - 1% rule can be achieved / labor costs are reasonable / rental market is strong
For cons - increasing property tax and insurance cost
