Hi John-Thanks for sharing this list of Top 10 Real Estate Markets for Cash Flow in 2024.I too found it interesting to see Flint, MI on the list but as a graduate of the University of Michigan-Flint and Mott Community College in Flint and I am back there often enough to say Flint has done a lot to develop itself and a lot of money has been poured into Flint after the water crisis.I say good for Flint.

I view my primary as my long-term home, 3 young kids with a good school system, so this is where we are settled.

My parents live in the Katy neighborhood.It is very safe and from what I understand, has a good school system.A lot of the homes are 'newer builds' since it is still a relatively new neighborhood.You are also in downtown houston in about 30 minutes during non-rush hour times using the I-10 highway.I don't think you can get the 1% rule anymore in the area but close to it.Since the homes are newerish, hopefully the property won't have too much renovation / repair costs.Best of luck

Since it’s now summer and they all moved back home and are also graduating they are no longer staying at the house.

She is about to head out as the school year is almost over.She doesn't provide any supplies usually.

These small outskirt cities may develop excellent school districts(like cary in NC) but the industry growth plus school is rare.

I’d love to get schooled on this a bit if I’m totally outta my mind with this plan, but if there aren’t a bunch of tax or legal roadblocks, I’m thinking it can work.

I've also kept an Indianapolis suburban home in a great area with highly ranked schools  - my property taxes have gone up significantly but I'm still about $110 CF. 

The suburbs do well with appreciation and being in high demand because of good schools. 

Explain that as if I’m in elementary school lol :)
