Things can sometimes get a little wonky within the same middle / high school zone with different feeder elementary schools.I've see this pattern of elementary school boundaries GREATLY affecting home values in Orange County, CA, Houston, TX area, and the southern suburbs of Atlanta, GA.Great schools = great real estate potential, seems to make sense, but I would like the counter examples that have ACTUALLY happened, and not just hypothetical.

Texas has municipal ordinances/laws concerning such in addition to the state, dealing in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, need to check specifically on their views. :) 

Hey all,I’m Gordon from Houston and I’ve only lived here for 2 years.

Not sure how comfortable you are investing out of your area, but I am out in Houston Tx and this area is really doing well.

I have just closed on my 4th property, a single family home in Houston TX and although I have already set my sights on two more for 2015, I can honestly say I am a bag of mixed emotions.I am so thrilled and proud of myself for pushing and pushing to achieve my goals.

There are tons of opportunities, I cans speak for Houston, Hot city! 

Thanks @Steve Rozenberg , I'm also here in Houston.

Obviously a lot of people don't have a problem with it because there are plenty of homes in flood zones here, and flooding is a big problem in Houston.

If there is such a thing as a BiggerPockets meet already in Houston, please refer me to the appropriate person(s) that can get me in!  

Guys I am looking for a firm in or around Houston Texas that specializes in managing retail space, specifically strip malls.
