(lavaca historic district) and the entire area is being gentrified.  

Historically taxes have been around 3,000 a year (obtained from public records).

Based upon historical, I would say my cashflows, ROI, is about 10-14%, and appreciation is about 10% on one 4plex, and the other about 50%.YMMV (your mileage may vary).Terry

If they double every 20 years which is the historical avg, you'd be looking at more like 850k worth of assets.You could now pull out 400k in equity in those homes tax free and they'll still cash flow a couple hundred a month each and you can do it all over again. 

Hi Houston Experts,There's a potential apt complex in Houston area for sale, however, I have been searching online, and there's no historical data of the last sale and also comparable.

Since it is also December, historically speaking homes sell for about 10% less in the 4th quarter and 1st quarter in this market than during the spring time when more home buyers are out shopping.

In areas where appreciation is historic the level of speculation is minimal, the ability to grow wealth almost a certainty.

I would like to expect that I could depend on my real estate agent to help me assess this, as they should have more historical knowledge than me.So two main questions: 1.)

We have been looking in our local downtown historic district for a home; however, the market is tight with very little inventory in our budget.

We subscribed the investors at historical basis which basically meant that we got no return on our money (we’ll, we got the pro-rata share of income while we still had capital in the deal but that wasn’t something you could retire off of).
