I am looking for long-term rental property investment opportunities but none of the cities that are published as best places to invest meet the 1% rule.

On a serious note, after 10/15 I plan to publish a long post (some would call it a rant) on why I consider the very question of tax rate pointless. 

Places like Liberty/Claycomo/Gladstone in the Northland, Blue Springs and the Eastern side of Independence, on the East side of town, Olathe/Lenxa KS on the SouthWest side, and more. 

My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!
