@Paul Wurster Hit me up while you're in the schoolhouse. I'm back in the early in early Jul. Good to see you on BP!

Thanks for the info, guys. This is definitely good news.

@Jason Flynn Thanks! That's very helpful. That confirms me in thinking mine might go for 290k or so, which seems reasonable...

Thanks everyone for the help. We're looking for a 4 BR home to live in while we're living in the area for the next 1-3 years. Schools are really important to us and we already have a 3 BR rental in Lincoln Crossing. We're looking hard at Whitney Ranch right now.

One of the main things I'm trying to gage is a reasonable estimate on the market rate for my house in Lincoln Crossing as we may put it on the market and use the cash from that to purchase something bigger.

It's a 2005, 1811 Sq Ft, 3 BR/2 Ba in LC. Single story and not a courtyard style home. Zillow says 261K and Trulia says 320k and I'm thinking it's probably somewhere in between, but I currently live in VA and I don't have a feel for the market energy and momentum right now.

Hi all! I've been on BP for a bit and I'm getting ready to relocate back to the Lincoln or Rocklin area NW of Sacramento. Anyone have good recommendations for a realtor in that area?

Thanks!

Thanks, Ben!

Darren,

Yes please on the agent recommendation. I'm working with an agent now, but we're still very preliminary so I haven't made any commitments.

Excellent, Eric! Thanks!

Anybody know of major pitfalls to watch out for specific to the Houston area? I was born there, but didn't grow up there. I'm familiar with the climate, but not sure if mold is a problem. Any other key environmental factors to worry about in the Spring/Woodlands/Tomball area (i.e. flood planes, etc)?

Sam,

To be clear, I'm looking in The Woodlands, Spring, or Tomball. Buy and hold w/positive cash flow is definitely what I'm looking for and my primary research tool up until now has been Zillow, but with 20% down I'm seeing properties here and there that look like a 15-20% cash on cash return (even with the high property taxes). Am I off base? Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Will

Thanks, Paul! Will check that site out.
