What state should we consider buying properties now at the budget around 350k-450k?

[Bethany Tran]

I live in Houston but I think it's not worth investing in Houston because property tax is so high and keep increasing every year. Additionally, renting market is very competitive. And, appreciation here is not so good. I am thinking about properties in another state to invest in. Can you guys with knowledge and experiences plz help me to suggest some good states for investment within my budget? I highly appreciate any comments. Thank you very much:)
