Yeah at that price I can see parking some money for a 10-20 year horizon. 

If only there were something better on the horizon....  :-)

Texas is still the darling of the country in terms of economy but it's been going on long enough now and is so widely sought after that it just seems prudent to expand my horizons. 

Hardly an arbitrary number in my opinion.But as Steve suggests it depends on your strategy; it depends on your investment horizon; it depends on your investment criteria.

My Goals here are me learning more not only about RE investing but Investing and sound financial philosophy in general.So a part of my goals are to broaden my financial mind and horizons. and sharing the knowledge I do have in a constructive way.

Real Estate investment requires a long term horizon sometimes.

So if that is what you're contemplating then you may find that extending your horizon goal from one to two years is a good plan because it turns your profit from ordinary income to capital gains to tax free!!
