My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

You should have masks with you at all times for environmental pollutants when looking at hoarder houses - animal feces, dead animals, asbestos, gas, etc.As for protocol, hoarder houses are not an easy buy because if the resident is still there it's not a money issue, it's an emotional issue.

The costs to build are too high, and until fuel prices drop and the environmental regulations are toned down, that won't change, meaning existing housing will continue to go up.

Think about what  you need personally the most to be successful and compare it to the components of each offering. 

Personally, I am avoiding those markets for now just for a sustainability and environmental outlook, but I would overestimate for insurance premiums, almost 2x what you think just so you have a buffer.
