Long term- heights, med center, mid-town, Exxon, Grandparkway, there are tons of places.I believe you can buy as many as 4 properties with conventional loans(cheap down payments).The first step is go to your local bank(or 2 banks) and ask them to pre-approve you(ask for a pre-approval letter).

And if you stay in the spring area i think with EXXON and others moving in, your appreciation will still be pretty impressive.

Are you looking forward to the opportunities the new Exxon facility will bring?

Exxon Mobil XOM2.

After realtor fees, taxes, etc. think it’s worth it to sell and plunk the money down on some high dividend stocks (ie Exxon 5.7% and REITS)?

With oil & gas in retreat right now and Exxon-Mobil moving up to The Woodlands, we need to see where the market settles.  

Im Exxon and im a newer agent in Portland, I am fascinated by the topics in this community and i am looking to get into many of strategies presented here.

Exxon is moving its headquarters there and hence, a ton of jobs.  

Exxon and Chevron are building new plants here.  10s of thousands of workers are here from out of town. 

So don't count on any.(2) Oil is big here, but has been somewhat been tempered with medical and research industry.There has been some speculation going on with the building of the Exxon campus and the new grand parkway.
