In my opinion the real estate remain still a good investment/business because has the "SLOW" characteristic that means that do not react directly proportionally with the stock market and no matter is going to happen the people needs a roof...Anyway, about the Houston market, I was just reading from the Houston Business Journal that the top 10 jobs are based on medical and/or import/export industries, no one was in the oil & gas area.Another KPI is that Houston have still a shortage of houses respect to the request.However, if you driving around downtown/uptown you can see a lot of new buildings/condo/town etc... that are ready to open...In conclusion, I think there are a lot of opportunities in the Clutch city...

I usually supply range only in SFH but frig and sometimes washer & dryer in Apts.  

Thank you BP,Respectfully,Davon

I know i can get just as much rent from a $100k house but i want you get places in the $150k range to hopefully attract better tenants.  

What's this "cheap" price range?

Realistic range tends to be 6-8%, depending on neighborhood and whether you're charging market rent.  

But I get ALL my insurance threw him (except for 2 cases where it made the lender happy, respect our lenders righ).

How much equity in a home do most go after, whats the range?

That being said, my CPA said something to me today that rang true.  

I've picked up three homes in okay condition all for under 3500 so shoot for that range.
