in fact i feel so uneasy about the oil and gas situation here that i have built up over a $6m portfolio in r/e in los angeles instead of houston while renting an apartment in houston...i only recently bought a small house here and a duplex... all in my exposure in terms of real estate is less than 300k out of 6m.i really do wish you all the best and hope you get it sold at a great price and hope that i am dead wrong about this city for my own selfish reasons  but i absolutely dont think the luxury market has legs in this city without some pain first.

@Joel Owens I think you're overlooking the fact rent control helps landlords who know how to game the system.

Its the city workers and courts systems, rather than the tenants, that are the worse.

I'm still working on making sure my systems are on in place before I purchase a multifamily.
