Reason:                     The owner is in their retirement age and is looking to sell the property                                   and relocate.  

I am employed full time and looking for a new investment vehicle outside of mutual funds, stock and bonds.We just purchased out first home in the Magnolia area as a primary residence and have been relocated close by (but to far to drive everyday) with my current job. 

This is what I am looking for right now for an Airbnb couple relocating with two kids. 

Judging by your name you might speak French as well, so there may be another association in Hull?

@Jaron Walling - I am sure you already explored this option but if you want access to the equity without selling cash flowing properties, it might be more beneficial to open up a HELOC or a RELOC on those properties for your future purchasing endeavors.

This seems like a big deal to me having grown up in HoustonBuilding has limited on site parkingBuilding has no onsite laundry or hookupsI have to relocate in order to comply with FHA rules Square footage is quite small (650-680 2 beds and 360-390 studios)County seems like they are aggressively raising taxes each year to catch assessed value up with market value.

You will want to be in locations that are attractive to traveling workers, nurses, corporate relocations, and longer-term travelers.

My wife and I recently relocated from Louisiana back home to Florida where we're from.

Forecasting future growth/value appreciation isn't a exact science (in other words speculation can't be totally removed from the decision making process), but you are heading in the right direction.Look for trends like current or major community infrastructure investment (need infrastructure to support future growth), strong regional employment prospects (the number one reason why people relocate is professional pursuits) and areas that appeal to the various buyer needs (good schools, low crime rate, etc.).

Thank you everyone for your responses, I appreciate the willingness to help.We will be renting out Matthews property for now out of NJ and we'll look to relocate here next year to buy more investments.
