Based on the information you entered it sounds like the university district, but you didnt provide any adresses.

I normally estimate property taxes at 1.7%, in most of DFW that is about right.Insurance is also extremely high in all of Texas (thanks to the people in Austin).The best market to invest in is the one you know better,,the difference in two houses, one block apart in the same city and school district can be more than you think, one might be in a 'in demand' high school area, the other one may have students going to a less desirable high school,,,as far as rentals go, the difference in rent rates and how long it takes to fill a vacancy can be affected more than you think by things like that

When the kids graduated, they BOUGHT a less expensive house much closer to work, but in an inferior school district.   

We owe $110K and could probably sell it for at least $155K if the DFW market stays strong.Selling = $35,000 after making repairs and realtor feesRental = $1400-$1,500/mo (I am pretty confident that this is a conservative amount after months of stalking craigslist and MLS) with entire payment of mortgage, taxes, insurance of $1080Cons: The house has had recurrent foundation troubles (we paid $17,000 to fix it with a lifetime transferrable warranty, though), trashy next-door neighbors (they are really bad), and is not in a good school district.

-PROS1920's quad in an up and coming historic district of Manchester (south of the river in RVA)All brick, renovated in 2007 (gutted to studs, new electric and plumbing)$700 average rent per unitRents under market by 100-150.

Without them there really isn't anything to do in the Business District, besides a few restaurants, with the nearest grocery not within walking distance.

High vacancy would be June, July, Aug; I see that as 3/12 or 20% vacancy, unless you get some grad students or faculty.

But keep in mind that your ability to flip it and resell quickly depends on many factors, including the type and quality of the rehab you do, the school district, the neighborhood and the street the house is on, the neighbors themselves and what condition their houses are in, whether the house is what people are looking for etc, etc.

In this recent case, I noticed that the appraisal district tax records were updated to reflect me as the new owner but the tax records still showed the appraisal value ~$40K more than what I felt it should be.
