Hey Randy, 

Welcome to BP and great idea considering Real estate to supplement your income. 

To achieve cash flow in this high interest rate environment, it will take finding/making a great deal or putting more money down. I would focus on properties with more than one unit to maximize cashflow. 

There are actually some decent looking duplexes available in central/east Conroe area currently. Most other duplex type homes are in the central Houston area. 

I'm a realtor, investor and developer in central Houston but work with investors all over Houston. I currently have 2 homes under contract in your area for an investor (Spring and Conroe). Feel free to message me if you would like to jump on a call.
