Investing in Houston: buy and hold, good or bad? Why?

Looking to move from North Dakota to somewhere new and preferably a good place to start my real estate investing. Thoughts on Houston? Why or why not? Kinda free to move wherever. Best places to start?

I concur with Kaelyn.  Houston's cost of living combined with opportunities to invest are incomparable to most Metros, in my opinion. City leadership in Houston, Katy, Sugarland, and Conroe have done an amazing job partnering with businesses and developers who provide countless options of where to live, work, and what to invest in.  We faired better than other Metros during the housing crisis and are holding through this COVID pandemic.

Since you have the freedom to move anywhere in the U.S., however, I would research more what areas of real estate investment you are interested in and see where exactly you could succeed better in that market.  Good luck with your decision!
