First House/Live In for under 90k?

Hey ya'll, 

I'm saving for my first house (I'm tired of living in apartments for the last 4 years). I'm 27 and self-employed. I live frugally and I'm starting to research houses from $65-90k (70-75k would make me really happy). My main concern is safety, but the good news is, I'm willing to travel up to an hour outside of central Houston for the location. This will be my primary residence, but after a few years I may rent it out. I'm not interested in doing too too much rehab, my budget for rehab may be around $8k. Do you have any recommendations for neighborhoods or areas around town that may offer a decent and somewhat safe place to live? So far I've looked into Deer Park, Atascocita, La Marque, West Houston, and NW Houston/Cypress. I've found some houses for sale in my budget range, but I wanted to get some of your opinions. Thanks!

Rick
