@Dan KielySugar Land and Katy are family-friendly suburbs with good schools, a strong job market, and a safe environment, but have higher property taxes and commute times.

I started learning real estate investment to quit my full-time job and spend more time with my 3-year-old daughter as well as build cashflow to pay for her future private school tuition.

You went to flight school to learn to fly, realtors learn what gets people sued and how to avoid that.

My town built all new schools and raised taxes.

I’ve saved up a bit of capital during high school and my plan is to keep building it while I’m in college and start investing quickly.

And it's actually going to make us MORE money with WAY less work and headache 🙏 (I mean we'll still have tenants so its not without headache).I also have 2 littles, whom I homeschool, were just finishing up renovating a school bus, and started a couple businesses, while traveling the country (hippie scientist gone green real estate investor 🤓, still hippie 🌈✌️🚌, with hottie chef husband 👨‍🍳).

Universities, flight schools, HR departments for corporate housing, military bases, etc... the list is actually pretty long. 

Life long Yorba Linda resident, because of the school system and safety Yorba Linda homes tend to rent out quickly.

Location is also important, as house hackers may seek properties near public transport, schools, and restaurants.
