@Michael Dolan, I've only been here 3 years, but Banks is definitely growing...and the tech seems to be creeping out this way even faster.

My name is Devonne Miller and I am a sophomore at Texas Tech University and I am very eager to learn the business of Real Estate. 

I also have a strong background in tech!

@Gloria Mirza@David FaulknerRegarding silicon valley:  I have no knowledge of the tech business capital structure but it seems any business that isn't cash flow positive would struggle if the cost of debt went up or what they could sell equity for went down?  

I assume you're in the tech industry?  

I would start with either a plumber, or well service tech... they should be able to point you in the right direction.The well guy would probably be the most helpful, as they would know whether it was a jet system ect based on the hookups to the well.  

I have posted the video tour in my private YouTube channel where you can provide the address or QR code to make it easy for the more tech savvy investors to view.

Since the last oil crisis, Houston has done an outstanding job of diversifying...With high-tech, healthcare, and alternative energies booming, petroleum just doesn't have the effect on us that it did in the past...it's now a smaller piece of the pie that is Houston.Many locals remember the hard times in the '80s, and are fearful that they will return, but when you look at all that the area has to offer (booming industries, affordable housing, great schools, investment opportunities, friendly people, decent winters, etc.) you realize that Houston still has a lot going for it.And even if things were to cool off a bit, that's beneficial to investors, as it means less home ownership and more renters!

By 2001 the high-tech world was not looking good, and the fourplex was just cranking  along making money.  

I'm currently working a part time in GA Tech and a realtor while going to school full time for mechanical engineering.
