I love where this home is at(previous owner has rented to med school students for 20 years)- close to UC, Short-Vine, Hospitals, and new Kroger---- is there reason to believe this property will be appreciate at a good rate.

She did receive some meds from the vet for her so there was an diagnosis given.

I believe now a tenant must have 3 violations in a 12 month period and need to evict only FOR CAUSE if they have lived there longer than a year.Today's news: I inherited a tenant a year and half ago that admittedly goes on and off legal meds and acts weirdly.

So when we move in about a year and buy our first house, it needs to bought with an exit strategy in mind ie renting or selling (after she graduates med school and we move back to southern Oregon). 

thank you all for your encouragment and for hearing me. :D

I guess for me it depends if I get involved with another Med Device company or not.

There no use get $200k loans if you are going to fail out of med school.

This unit is in a good neighborhood but in a city with a bad reputation, so I was happy to have a Med student as a tenant.  

I'm not happy, but its all legit, and I'm not worried about collecting for damages.Well, once the tenant slipped off of her meds, she turns the whole neighborhood upside down, digs up new landscaping, lights and tv on full blast at all hours, has the police out at all hours because she is being stalked, and on and on and on....Thankfully, it is my policy to only offer a six month initial lease, but it sure seemed like a long six months!

But our particular focus is near the Med Center area, for the reason of Job Growth and almost recession proof economy centered around Aging populations needing more health care.Houston is adding 30,000+ jobs to the Med Center over the next 3 years so any type of investing ahead of that job growth is expected to be positive in the longer term.Do you invest in Houston?
