Any market research reports about Houston Real Estate Market?

[Matthew J.]

I would like to know which parts of Houston is projected to grow fastest? Are there any research or reports out there that talks about this?What happens if oil prices keep going down or stay where it is, what are the projections?

As many of you already know that retail in general is not doing well not only in Houston but in general. I am also shy from purchasing residential multifamily units for maintenance and keeping up problem.

I am inclined more towards any property that is not retail and not residential. I will be buying and renting it out. I have never done this before and did a little research and found out that commercial mortgage interest rates are higher and more restrictive and it requires more pay down than residential mortgages. Had I known this before I would not buy my house all in cash and instead invested in a commercial property but it is too late now.

Thanks in advance
