I personally have rentals here in Houston, the cash-on-cash return and appreciation are steady.Houston is the #1 Market in the US for Job Creation.It is the 4th largest city in the US, trailing only New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.1-year real estate appreciation forecast of 9-10%.Houston ranks third in the nation in overall population growth.Metro Houston saw the third-largest increase in population growth in the U.S. for the year that ended June 30, 2020, according to the latest data from the Census Bureau.The new figures put the metro area’s population over 7.1 million residents.Houston's economy looks strong in many sectors.You should select a market that will meet your investment goals.A local Investor-Agent can help shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.Good Luck!

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the plan is to eventually run a new rail (Blue) through Third Ward, too.FYI, in case you didn't know, a few years ago Third Ward Houston was ranked the 15th most dangerous neighborhood in the US on a list compiled by the FBI.
