Prices are driven by demand.

The returns will be driven by debt pay-down and longer-term appreciation.

As someone in a very similar situation (Houstonian, engineer, FI-driven) but a couple of years in, I would like to offer a few tips:Don't limit your RE investments to what you would want to rent, young professional areas will not bring you the best returns in Houston.

There is a difference between the 10 Yr T Bill and the Fed funds/prime rate since the former is market driven and the later is 'set' by the FOMC.

I told her I would take care of it and showed up the next day with a "newer" refrigerator I purchased with the $500 cash from Unit A. I

I use a HELOC for my flip business - each time a I sell I pay it off.

Hacking sounds the most attractive for ‘first timers’ as I feel it may offer an easier landlord learning experience.We are both very driven and can offer sweat-equity, finance, legwork and simply outstanding coffee shop chat.While the Denver market seems very strong, indicators show no sign of stagnation, rates are historically low, we do have fears of buying at the markets peak without much room to appreciate.Seeking an experienced hand in gauging deals, get recommendations on reputable agents, join in financial partnerships, or simply get in touch with guiding angels.

Most economists estimate this could take until the middle of the next decade or later.Housing prices right now are driven by supply-and-demand, as they always are.
