Good rental markets in Houston area (A or B neighborhoods)

[Harsh Patel]

Hello, I have been scouting out of state markets for cashflow properties. I'm looking at Houston at present and would appreciate any suggestions that would point me towards decent rental markets in the area (A-B neighborhoods).

Thanks

Hi @Harsh Patel , Houston is a really big market and you can find great rental areas all over.  Seeing as you are in California I assume you will be an out of state landlord.  Have you identified a local management company?  This could be critical as they will have first-hand knowledge of the markets they serve, not to mention there is no guarantee a management company will support properties in north and south markets (~60 miles apart).  

My experience is in the north Houston area and @Mitchell Benson is right, The Woodlands, Tomball, Spring and Cypress are all excellent rental areas.  Large oil companies and a lot of medical growth are supporting great rental opportunities up here.  If you are okay moving a bit farther north (Magnolia and Conroe in Montgomery County) are posied for a lot of growth.  As a matter of fact, Conroe, Texas was identified as one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.

I  hope this helps some, and good luck.
