I'm a computer/network engineer and the problem is, every 5 years, the technology completely recycles (with a few exceptions) so it's a CONSTANT learning curve. 

THis is one of the reasons I don't recommend smart technology.

Many of the Oil jobs were moved out of Houston and were replaced with medical and technology jobs that simply don't pay as high as the oil industry. 

@Chris Davidson - I agree with your point on how demand has changed given the change in technology over the years. 

Rents because of the limited housing and massive amount of silicone valley technology work have driven rent to some of the highest in the world and the nation.

I only manage 4 units and plan on growing but want to get ahead of the curve on the technology side.

With today's technology, you should not need to download anything to your PC. 

As more people move to the DFW area, the demand for rental properties increases, creating an opportunity for scammers to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers.In addition to population growth, the rapid development of technology has enabled scammers to become more sophisticated and successful in their fraudulent activities.

Pittsburgh has always had a strong medical influence and now that is being combined with the uprise in technology. 

More recently, we founded a GC-tech company (general contracting technology) and we work specifically with chicago investors.Anyways, happy to share more of my story if it helps you on your journey.
