Be prepared for a high-speed buying process in Houston, and many other urban areas thanks to steep market competition.

Am I starting real estate in the most competitive market possible?

The difficult part is figuring out what part of the industry will be hit the hardest, and when.

I wish for it to be very in-depth so as to understand lots of facets to the industry and process.

@Bo Bond Something tells me you're in the industry!

I work in the "what if" industry, so naturally the "what if" in a friends fight comes up.Everything else checks out on both (strong credit, no evictions, no criminal, etc.).

I am currently trying to land a deal in a very competitive market.

Is $1550 competitive with local market? 

San Antonio is the only other Texas market to appear on the unranked list.Austin’s commercial real estate sector has benefited from an influx of companies, particularly in the tech industry, that are moving out of California.https://austin.culturemap.com/...

It also might help you understand what exactly it is you like about real estate and which skillsets are most desireable in the industry.
