If you find a place that will cash flow at a 200k budget on long term rents in Houston, I promise you that you do not want to own in that neighborhood AND it probably does not actually cash flow due to the class of tenant, capex, vacancy, and turnover costs.I'd suggest you try to find some connection to a place rather than randomly picking a market.
