What do you do when you question your choices?

Hello,

I have 2 long term rental properties in central Texas.  I would like to buy another property in Texas, but property taxes are so expensive. So, I have been looking in St Louis but still question my target market. My initial thoughts were to buy a duplex and get a good cash back return, but since I am still questioning the area, I start to think a single family would be best to start with.  But, that could just be my fear kicking in.  What are things you do when you question your choices in real estate?

Any advice, would be appreciated.

Checkout Ohio! Columbus is the fastest growing metropolitan area in the midwest with decent cashflow, and appreciation 8% higher than the national average. Cleveland is incredible for cash flow, with around 60% of households occupied by renters. Happy to chat more in-depth on these markets if you shoot me a DM!
