Investing in Townhomes vs Single Family Homes in Houston TX

[Martha Marty]

Hi All,

Am new to BP and so far I have gotten a lot of information already. My question to you all is what is the best option: Investing in a Townhome or SFH in Houston. I am very new to this industry and this will be my first investment property. I have done a lot of research on the best areas to buy a SFH and Spring, Cypress, Katy and Sugarland seem to be coming up over and over again as the best areas to get renters. On Townhomes, I have been looking at the Galleria area and Memorial, however the maintenance fees seem to be high which would eat into the profit. Could you all please let me know from your experience which is better, Townhome vs SFH and which areas or zipcodes are best right now to invest in. I appreciate all your advice. Thank you.
