Investment opportunities in Beaumont, TX

[Minh Le]

Hello all,

Since the Houston market is ultra-competitive these days, I would like to look outside the city and Beaumont, TX came on my radar. I looked at threads pertaining to the Beaumont, and they seem to have a favorable market. Can someone living or investing in the area give some insight on the current ongoings there?

Can I also have referrals to good, reputable property managers there?

Thank you in advance for your inputs.

@Mathew Wray  I've attached a marked-up map of Beaumont, showing what I concentrated on when considering West Beaumont.  I'm not an expert or a long time local but this is my opinion based on 18mo on the ground, researching, living and ultimately picking-up property in the area.

Some great new SFH building going on South of 90 that are nice as well as further out West on 90 going towards China, TX. And of course, as already mentioned, where I'll be focusing on moving forward is up North (not shown on the attached map) areas of Lumberton and Silsbee.

The major street names are not shown below but you can easily find them on google.  

*Re: areas around the university, it's nothing I would ever touch.  I stuck exclusively to 77706 & 77713.
