Looking for a 3 bed at minimum (SFH or Townhome) in really any safer part of Houston. 

Currently, my wife and I own a house that we purchased for $346,000 (4 beds, 3.5 baths) 7 years ago in California, which is now worth $606,000.

The units are fully furnished, including bedding and all utilities included. 

My tenant moved out a couple of days ago, and when I walked through the unit, I discovered that he had removed the curtain and curtain rod, detached the room air conditioner, and caused significant scratches on the hardwood floor from the metal bed frame legs.

So the current situation I have is what route to take, I am currently looking a potential townhome for 500k in the salt lake valley 5.1% interest rate on a FHA with 3.5 down. 3 bed 3 bath, unfinished basement.  

The $750 market rent for a 2-bed is also relatively low. - Is this property in a Class C or D area?

Basement unit fits 3 bed 2 baths.

Impressive Rent-to-Price Ratios: Average rents for 3-bed homes are about $800-$900/month, potentially yielding 12-15% gross returns.Economic Transition: While historically industrial, Bay City is diversifying into healthcare, education, and service sectors.Revitalization Efforts: Downtown redevelopment and community initiatives are breathing new life into the city.Strong Cash Flow Potential: Low property taxes and insurance costs contribute to robust monthly cash flows.Let's crunch some numbers on a hypothetical deal:Purchase Price: $75,000Down Payment (20%): $15,000Mortgage (4.5% interest, 30-year fixed): $304/monthProperty Tax: $100/monthInsurance: $60/monthEstimated Repairs/CapEx: $100/monthProperty Management (10%): $85/monthTotal Monthly Expenses: $649Potential Rent: $850/monthEstimated Monthly Cash Flow: $201Cash-on-Cash Return: About 16.08% (not including appreciation or tax benefits)These are rough estimates, and individual properties will vary.

Most often it was out of need for a specific location and space, so I first concentrate on the location, then #beds (typically), once I've narrowed it down, then I go to budget.
