The truly tragic natural disasters in California, North Carolina, Florida and others of the past six months are evidence that no location is truly 'climate safe,' however there are geographical areas that can expect less weather extremes and lower costs of living, developing, insuring and seemingly...surviving. 

Depending on the number of jobs and number of new development going on in the area it may just be simple supply and demand.

Over time, we’ve developed a strong relationship with the Housing Authority across various neighborhoods and ZIP codes.

Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.

I use a spreadsheet I developed to determine my entry costs, carrying costs, cash flow, tax write offs, appreciation and exit costs.

I don't have personal experience with it, but when the app was first developed, I contacted the developer and put the app through a fairly robust test usage to see if it's something I would want to recommend to my clients (I'm a CPA).I think the app is great for its intended purpose and I do recommend it to my clients now (and have for about 18 months now). 

I did like some features of Avail as far as using it for developing the lease and collecting rent but that left me with too many other functions I had to handle elsewhere.

Build a strong team, prioritize cash flow, and take the time to understand the local market and regulations, especially for development projects.

With careful planning, you can develop a portfolio that consistently outpaces inflation and helps secure your financial future.I hope this helps.

It's important to stay informed about developments in the areas you're considering, as well as any potential changes in regulations or economic conditions.
