@Arun MaheshwariFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, Richmond, Texas, is a promising location for single-family home investments due to its growing population, suburban appeal, and proximity to Houston's strong job market.

This consist of having a good agent preferably one that works with and has investor experience.

Had a very similar experience to you - would love to chat!
