I would agree with @Jay Thomas that all 3 cities and the other big cities in Texas are all experiencing growth in both urban and suburban areas. 

Definitely weigh the pros and cons, and as always, consulting with a real estate attorney or financial advisor may help you navigate this transition smoothly.Hope this helps and best of luck with your continued growth!

If you want appreciation, identify markets with expanding industries, positive growth trends, and bright economic forecasts.

Key neighborhoods to look into include Avondale, Crestwood, and Highland Park—these areas have seen growth, attract young professionals, and offer solid rental potential.You don't have to visit in person, but it can help for peace of mind.

From my observations most investors are better off going through a more natural progression of growth.

It's a balance between immediate growth and long-term security.

Canadian population growth and current vary favourable CMHC financing terms are likely mostly responsible for that, and both of those factors are above/more favourable than historical norms, so if your time horizon is long, then I would not count on appreciation/cap rate compression as part of your underwriting.
