I have targeted Houston Texas ( Harris county), but the competition is extra ordinary.

I am an Asset Manager with a portfolio of 11 distressed Multifamily assets in Houston.

I took a look at the listings on their website.Most of their inventory is 30+ min from the 'downtown' area.Seems like they charge $400 - $600 a bed in Dallas and Houston + a move-in fee to the guest.It would be interesting to know what their management fees are.You should be able to make money based on those numbers if they have a nice occupancy rate.I personally wouldn't rent from there because I prefer my own space but there are definitely people out there that like to save a couple hundred on rent or even enjoy having roommates(Company) around.Best of luck!

Research the MarketLocal Trends: Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, has been experiencing significant growth.

I am in the Houston area and while I'm not new to real estate in general, I am brand new to investing.

With the growing demand for both urban living in cities like Austin and suburban areas surrounding Dallas and Houston, where do you think the next big wave of homebuyers is heading?

I have called a couple of local banks, including the one that my mortgage is through, as well as larger banks like Bank of America and Rocket Mortgage. 

My wife is also part ofa LP/GP (where she is the asset manager) that acquired a value-addapartment complex in Houston, where the renovations are now complete, and theGP is in preparations for the refinance.We are currently working on further expanding ourlocal portfolio and are planning out our next larger acquisitions.

So slow joe and speedy trump aren't killing Billy & Rachel but killing your rocket mortgage, ally bank, etc.

Here, investors can find properties with expansive views, infinity pools, and a growing demand.Houston: Houston has long been a business hub, and its luxury real estate market continues to thrive.
