I am trying to buy an investment property to house hack in the Houston area but I'm not sure if I should know what tenant I can attract in different neighborhoods first before deciding what area to purchase in...

Vacancy reports and Development forecasts were also part of their benefit of services.Unfortunately, they decided to retire in January and closed shop.

For you to find 1% properties you will need to look in c level neighborhoods.

I wanted to get input from you on investing in lower income urban neighborhoods.

By investing conservatively, in good middle class neighborhoods we never suffered much in losses and by not having loans our flexibility and ease of purchase (cash) and sales (seller financed) always went smoothly.

There is a commercial space for sale in my area that used to have a tuxedo shop and a laundry service.

I'd shop around @Huiping Sheng.

One day I was researching non-traditional marketing strategies so I decided to try to cold call some neighborhoods that I was interested in.

You can do some secret shopping around and just look on craigslist / redfin etc. for apartments for rent nearby and see if they're including utilities in rent. 2.

I would intern at what ever real estate companies your interested in.My daughter was interested in finance.. and she interned during collage with a high level appraisal company that did apprasing for emanate domain cases.. and she worked on the one in Napa CA were the state and city bought out a big swatch of the napa river for flood control project and many business had to be relocated from hotel to shopping center to car dealer all of them needed to be valued.. it was high level work she enjoyed it.she then went on to graduate top of her class at Davis CA.. in managerial economics degree and promptly got snapped up my Intel after offers from Apple and Micro soft.now 14 years later she is a SEnior controller and a Dave Ramsey disciple which means at her age home just about paid for 2 kids in grade school and NO debt and a ton of savings and max's out her 401k.. she has little interest in real estate she owns one rental but only rents it to family. that was her path.
