In the case of the chips acts it’s 200million out of the 39billion have been spent.What I follow is: my local real estate market (still very hot)The company I work for (stabilized after layoffs last year)The stock market (still hot)Job opportunities in my expertise (aerospace structures)—not as hot as two years ago but still strong.Anecdotes from my social groups (no issues).We’ll see though.

Plenty of great things going on....like Oracle HDQ move to Houston, Tesla in Austin, Several Billion $ worth of chip plants around Sherman, basically new WF HDQ in Irving, Schwab HDQ in Southlake, State Farm and Liberty Mutual insurance in/around Richardson. 

Sanding and priming chipped paint in two spots.

For plumbing, Chip Oexmann and his team at ARS/Rescue Rooter Fort Worth have saved us thousands of dollars and many headaches over the years. 

With the I-40/75 split we have here there is a lot of manufacturing and shipping in and out of the area, with Oak Ridge we have a lot of technology in the area, and of course being the base for UT we have a lot of students and family moving to the area.

@Enrique Saucedo, I did a substantial amount of remodeling on all of the units.The first 7 units, in Mountain View had essentially the same level of work: New flooring, new oak kitchen cabinets, new granite counter tops, new appliances, new toilets, new tile, grounding of electrical outlets, sheet rock, paint, new fixtures.

But because Houston has no zoning laws, just 6-8 miles south of that you have very desirable housing of the Garden Oaks and Heights neighborhoods. 

My favorite cashflow neighborhoods: Cheviot, White Oak, Monfort Heights, Miami Township, Lockland, Reading.

The investment I sold was in Royal Oak, MI, which is a very hot market right now.  

I know a lot of others that played the other side of the highway in garden oaks and did well.
