I plan on purchasing mf in the downtowns of the cities surrounding Houston, mainly those with a more “Americana” type of feel( white picket fences, 4th of July block parties, neighbors worship together, founding families are still around and they let you know it, high walkability score, families are out on the street with neighbors, doors are unlocked.....)It is tough to comp certain property because they might be the only type (or one of the only two) AND some of these towns do not allow any more MF to go up, so the MF owners set the market.

I also think might be on the high side if there in not much activity in the partnership.

Many know that the Civil Relief Act permits active duty military to break a lease when they recieve orders or depart from service.

There was a fair amount of gang activity there which caused quite a bit of trouble for a lot of the developers there initially but once they started hiring a lot of them and getting them off the streets, the resistance has improved a fair amount.

@Chris Seveney  is an active NPN investor he may have a different or more thorough take on this situation. 

With flipping you also pay higher taxes since it's considered active income and with rental property you get a much smaller pay day, but you also pay little to no tax on the gains since it's passive and therefore have a number of tax advantages you can take.
