Opportunities in Brownsville Texas

[Phillip Troutman]

Hey everyone - like a lot of folks my ears have perked up about Brownsville Texas recently. I'm looking to add another property to my portfolio before the end of this year and Brownsville has been on my radar. I know this is a bit of a broad post, but i'm really interested to hear what strategies investors have been successful with in this area.

A few questions i'm really interested in  finding answers to. If anyone has thoughts or answers the following questions I'd love to hear from you. (i'll update this post with answers as I get them)

• - Vacancy rates
• - Rent trends (what are renters looking for? class A properties)
• - Has the Starbase effected real estate in the last year?
• - What are the most sought after neighborhoods in the area?
• - Is airbnb a better bet for this area
• I appreciate all the feedback on these questions or others
