Happy to have you here in Texas soon.Might I suggest this resource as you decide what place to invest inhttps://www.areavibes.com/This is a really cool website that give you like a 30,000 foot overview of a city and can tell you the crime rate and other things.

Whether that book is $20 or $2000, it's up to you to put a value on it, and decide accordingly.You can get information anywhere, but meeting local investors is best done locally and in person.
