Pretty well sums up the culture of TX and Houston area.

What I am trying to wrap my head around is the cultural differences not to mention the language barrier.

And they are culturally appropriate to our prospects. 

IMO, using the term investor is misleading when used by an operator, but I understand the English language changes with popular culture, but accounting, tax, financing and business terms do not. 

It's always a big purchase for a homeowner, but I wonder if time and culture will change the preferences of the general public. 

The people in India, who spoke English well, and could fit the company culture basically would prove themselves in 6-12 months on  H1-B1 or a J-1 Visa contract. 

Second, if the person understands their asset, the community, the culture and the tenants they are able to operate and make tons of cash which is very much a good thing.

I think that we can rationally understand that culture changes and also understand that we don't have to agree with slavery to agree with the core values of how our country operates.

The nightlife /food/culture makes it so people want to live in the area etc...

Renting to your own culture surely its advantageous when problems arise.
