@Michael Le, @Michael Niemeier, @Bill F.According to the Greater Houston Partnership, despite a negative 10,000 in domestic population in Houston in 2017 (mainly due to oil/gas job losses), there was a positive 43,000 international and a net positive 33,000.

It's true.. around bp I am a tiny fish in the commercial side.

I must be a "small fish" that they think they can get money out of me maybe incrementally.... 

Here is the quick pros and cons on both.Gloucester: Pros -  Good tenant pool, strong schools, most houses have public utilities, consider the more desirable area of Sicklerville by the local populationCons - higher taxes, pulling permits takes the full ~21 days, higher home prices, overall thinner marginsWinslow:Pros - Lower cost houses, rental friendly township, strong demand for rentals, slowly up & coming in certain neighborhoods, lower taxes, overall fatter marginsCons - Lots of C and D neighborhoods and lackluster tenant pools, poor schools, the more east you get the more well/oil/septic you find, considered less desirable area of Sicklerville by the local populationBy the numbers both GC and WT have similar rent rolls only off by $100 to $200 depending on the house type, therefore Winslow you will net more but have a slightly riskier houseAgain this is just a general view, you'll want to look at each sub-division as there are massive swings within each twp (Ex: Brittany Woods compared to Cobblestone in GC)

The only other reason for a dock would be aesthetics and fishing, which I think would add marginal value at best.

@Dimple Khurana there are also other factors outside of liens that could be problematic if you're bidding sight unseen such as a leaking oil tank, foundation issues, etc

When not working I try to spend as much time in or on the water surfing, fishing, or relaxing.Cheers and I look forward to networking in the Wilmington, NC area!

Afterwards, I worked down in Houston until I completed a Leadership Rotational Program in the Oil and Gas Industry.With my family living back in Oklahoma City, some even working in the real estate space, I have worked to build out my knowledge of the real estate market there.

Electric baseboard costs about 90% more than oil to heat a home(this depends on electric rates and oil prices.

I'm just never sure about what applies to our situation after reading the city rules and regs, partially because I probably don't want them to apply to me and because I feel like we're just small potatoes and the rules are meant to apply to the big fishes.
