Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: 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 luckThanks you for taking the time to reply to the post. 

I’ll have to resend but for whatever reason my reply never posted where I laid out my buy box.

Thanks for the reply @Steve Meyers!

Thanks in advance for your replies!

And anything you spill goes right over them, so red wine or pasta sauce will do a number on them.At least with wood finish, it blends in well, though curious to see any and all replies.

Great replies, much appreciated! 

Hey JD-thanks for the reply!

I think I've had two or three different new posters get offended by my replies in the last few weeks, which I admit are not served up on a poo poo platter with hollandaise sauce.

I am not sure if you're reading are replies or stating the same things over.

Hello Mike, thank you for the reply, you are the right person to listen to.
