I find that most of the data (home value, potential rents, taxes) is easy to come by.

If anyone in the Houston market is looking to give back and whats to work with someone who is driven, ambitious, and not afraid to get involved please reach out to me.

             Hello Bigger Pockets Family,My name is Fabian Moody, I am new to bigger pockets but a young driven individual investor from Birmingham, Al.

There are a few things to learn about reading the listing data. 

They often have access to data that the general public doesn't.  

“Home sales growth in the city of Austin is currently being driven by the sales of single-family homes priced $750,000 and higher, particularly within the luxury housing market,” added Guthrie.The median price for single-family homes in the five-county MSA rose 6.5 percent to $287,000 in February 2017.

Then probably get a 2nd (or 3rd) opinion for another PM company or local agent that's versed in the rental market to make sure you are getting accurate #'s/comps/data from your current PM.

I'm going to give you a quick run down of my experience to help you collect data in the hopes that you can make an informed decision.Interview PMs.  

There are parts of this are that come close to bordering Buckhead and Ga Tech that are super nice but some parts that I have driven through are pretty sketchy.
