@Jordyn Rodriguez  Study the asset class also before buying.

Seems like When things are operating smooth it’s all sunshine but man when things go wrong in real estate it’s always 6 things fail or go bad in the same day .someone needs to do a clinical case study on this phenomenon

Spending 100 k again on studies just give you satisfaction that's it, I know as I come from Asian back ground too, real estate will teach you more than degrees(my opinion) you might differ.

The result depends on the measure you apply - maybe it's net worth, or cashflow, or convinience etcMy advise, study both markets and observe what you can see, but ultimatly trust your instinct to make the right decision. 

You need to look over the financials, the budget, and the reserve study to understand the financial health. $125 sounds about right or possibly low. 

Here are basic stats on single-family home sales for July 2019 for the City of Austin and the greater Austin area:Here's an recent study of housing affordability in 130 US metro areas, including Austin (pic below).

We have been studying for awhile since we found BP but i realized i never made a formal introduction!

So comparing X% from stock market, which is ordinary income taxed at your own W-2 tax rate, to Y% via real estate investing that may potentially result in active or passive income/loss taxed at a much lower rate (keep in mind I'm generalizing here, as there could be various tax consequences.)Study the markets' behavior in the past and see how it can be applied moving forward.

Anyways, I’m still taking my time and studying the market (HOUSTON).

They studied the people who are doing it, read books, watched YouTube videos, networked and got after it.
