With Texas leading the nation in population growth, many are calling it the hottest market for real estate investors. But with prices rising in cities like Austin, Dallas, and Houston, do you think the market is still...

Are you seeing an effect or worried about the boom of apartment complexes in downtown?  

I think you had a boom in building two and a half years ago when prices went crazy.

Home ownership is often not looked at as an investment, but it almost always is an appreciation boom.

If you're comfortable having investments in other states, there are many booming markets in TN, FL and NC.

Municipalities may add additional taxes to this, so you’ll want to contact the county tax assessor-collector office to determine current rates for a specific area.

Just based on this number I would tell you it is a terrible market and Jason is completely inaccurate. cape and lehigh are poster child for massive subdivision built in the 50s 60s that market has been a yo yo ever since.. lot prices go down to 10k in lehigh when things are like now and then shoot up to 40 to 60k when you have a building boom like 3 years ago with outside sales influences. 

Boom, nailed it! 

I totally agree, so many properties there are new and beautiful that there needs to be *something* to really stand outYou make a really good point re: no plan B, and in general I’ve seen the home values in that market depreciating (assuming because of the boom / growth in supply in the last couple years).I might be wrong here but I assumed that a general trade off between vacation market and metro areas would generally be that strs in vacation markets don’t really have a plan BI’m pretty split at the moment, but really appreciate your thoughts

The triangle in general is booming with growth.
