East texas housing market

[Bryan Price]

Hello everyone! I am hoping to start a thread on the local housing market in our specific area. I am a newbie investor in the Longview/Kilgore (possibly Tyler area) and am hoping to find some trends in the area. I am aware that ALL markets are hot right now, but is ours hotter than the average market? Are rental rates climbing and at what rate? What is the average cost of a 2/1, 2/2, 3/1, 3/2, etc., rental in Kilgore and what about Longview? What do you guys predict for our area? Any comments about the current and future East Texas market would be greatly appreciated. I am also wanting to network with fellow investors in the area!
