You can find properties in the price you indicated but they have historically appreciated less than inflation, they may attract poor tenants, they likely will have poor rent growth    Or house hack local market and need at low as 3.5% but easier at 5%.  

Honestly I try not to even mention my city name in responses because I don't want to attract the crowd, but that is me just trying to keep the issue from getting worse. 

The people attracted to CTREIA are great because its the only real estate group in the state.

Through content creation and speaking engagements, I showcased my knowledge and attracted investors who resonated with my investment philosophy.

I would add "Houston, TX" to your title to hopefully attract people who know that market.

As The Richest Man in Babylon states:"To attract good luck to oneself, it is necessary to take advantage of opportunities."

@Carl Rowles we screen all tenants exactly the same, but know several of our local competitors cut corners to attract more S8 applicants - waiving application fees, security deposits, etc.You can try to weed out applicants that have poor "house maintenance" skills by doing surprise zoom calls and asking them to show you their kitchen, bathroom and another room.

Also same as any content created anywhere else: maintaining your reputation as an expert and attracting potential customers/clients/partners/lenders/etc.3.

Focus on the reasons for that growth, the sustainability of which areas will be most attractive and you're investing in a great market if you have the right key indicators in mind and the right focus of your objectives.
