The economy in general.3.

Interest rates are low and the economy is doing ok.Goldilocks conditions for the economy: low unemployment, low inflation, cheap oil and accommodating monetary policy.Supply constraints and low interest rates will drive housing prices for the next 2-3 years.

@Brian Garlington Dallas has a booming economy with great job and population growth but because of some of the highest property taxes and insurance rates in the nation, the returns are very low in comparison to Midwest markets like Indianapolis and Kansas City. 13-14% return are not realistic however when you take in to account vacancies and maintenance which a lot of people neglect to include.
