I am a real estate agent and investor in the Houston market.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.Rent growth and appreciation is steady.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

I think you would need to see the neighborhood and what that area "commands" you to do...

I am trying to add value (to command a higher rent), but also not pour too much time or money in as this is an investment and not my personal room.I have hardwood flooring in all rooms and am going for a contemporary look so as too appeal to young professionals. 

Maybe it simply wouldn't make a good rental--it wouldn't command enough to make it worth holding.  

Average rents for a 3 bedroom / 1 bathroom in the area were approximately $1,500 per month, but I knew my home could command a higher rent rate given that other rental properties only lasted on the rental market for a few days and my home was in a much better condition.

Ask to talk to his NCO or commanding officer and in a simple manner just inform them that SGT X has broken his rental agreement and is going to soon be evicted if he does not come current.

The obvious upside is you will command higher rents.

A ton of students here so if something does happen you have their command to go to. feel free to reach out with any questions

The valuations on the studios will likely command a different cap rate than the retail spaces and the laundromat.

Dr.s need to be compensated fairly and have the perpensity to earn a nice income.....agreed.I doubt Dr.s will be pushed into the public health service as a govt. employee, that seems rather paranoid, that may well be ture for an average or a poor partitioner, but I'm sure that in our country the best and brightest, the better educated and skilled will continue to command more than a decent living.I've done mortgages for many Dr.s in varied fields, buisness arrangements of employment and on the private side as well as government.
