That gets worse as you get farther out of the cityTLDR: values depreciate, inflation has gone basically nowhere in Japan for a long time, the supply of housing is pretty good compared to demand (unlike the US) and that's because of flexibility with rezoning and development, taxes on rental income are high.

@Christine VasquezHow high can housing prices in the City of Detroit go?

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

Good tips, Shiloh!

I’m not sure where you’re from or how long you’ve lived in Texas but I highly recommend moving out of state and out of your comfort zone while you’re young enough to easily be able to do so.

We would appreciate recommendations for either insurance companies and/or agents. 

A great tip someone gave me recently was to put everything that you do in your calendar as well.

If you have any favorite forums or valuable tips that you've found especially helpful, Id love to hear them!
