First time homebuyer

[Nabeel Kurji]

Hi Everyone

I am from CT currently looking to purchase a property in houston to be near family.  I am familiar with the sugarland area and some parts of downtown.  

I am primarily looking at some townhouse/condo in East Downtown (EaDo) which is an up and coming area as well as by Hermann Park/Bayou where prices are a little higher but can be rented and hold value due to the proximity to the park, medical center, and rice.  

I wanted to know if anyone could share advice and insights on buying a townhome in this area and if its something 'investable' 

thanks
