Everyone's comfort level is different but for me, 6% return on my money is way too low.

We also do have fairly strong diversification.. state capitol, bridgestone, nissan HQ and factory, GM factory, LG washing machines, AO Smith water heaters, Beretta, 2 Amazon warehouses, cracker barrel, dollar general, tractor supply, shoneys, as well as a ton of regional offices for all kinds of companies.

He said his motivation level is on the rise too.

The key is learning what that level is. 

Every time my bank account reaches a certain level, I only get to enjoy it for a short time before waving goodbye to another $20,000.

That income level is getting squeezed out of the market and they are finding themselves having to move out of the cities to afford rent.  

Houston is very flat and that makes drainage very, very difficult (and slow) but saying we are below sea level is misleading. 

There is also a screened porch accessible through a door in the kitchen.Downstairs are the other 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, laundry room, nice big "rec room" (or living area) and an exterior door.The driveway is really large so parking for up to 4 cars is not an issue.At the bottom of the stairs from the entrance to the lower level is a door that we've secured with a double deadbolt, locking the upstairs from the downstairs.We'll rent the house as a 4 BR/2 BA or as two separate 2 BR/1BA apartments.The guests who rent the upstairs apartment get to use the kitchen & screened porch, but not the laundry room.The guests who rent the downstairs apartment get to use the laundry room but not the kitchen or screened porch (so this apartment will rent for less than the upper apartment.)

Lower level is empty now.  

While some macro economics do/will/can have an impact at the micro level, I believe that for the most part, we are far away from having an oversupply of housing.
