Have about 50k I would invest (access to more), with excellent credit and good income too, from my full time job.

That said, Texas tends to offer more affordable housing than Florida’s coastal towns, so your money might go further if you’re buying properties for yourself and your portfolio.When it comes to family life, Texas has tons of family-friendly suburbs with excellent schools.

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

I have done and will continue to do my job with excellence for you.The builders have to do theirs.

Good neighborhoods, excellent schools, and literally--where does the house I want sit in the actual neighborhood...I say does it look like a $650K house area when I'm done?

BP serves as an excellent platform for networking and ongoing education.

There are some excellent posters on BP but occasionally some go beyond what I think is appropriate for lay persons.
