Lately, we’ve been singing the praises of Texas cities like San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin. Nothing wrong with any of them but we shouldn’t leave out the biggest city in the state, namely, Houston. Houston has a lot going for it when it comes to real estate investments, especially for those seeking income properties.
Here are a few numbers that point to “All systems go!”
Already the 7th most populous city in the United States, Houston is ranked among the nation’s fastest growing metropolitan areas and is 12% below the national average when it comes to cost of living and inexpensive housing.
Let’s see…growing population…cheap housing…this is like crack to a cocaine addict when real estate investors see the prices of houses on the market. And this is exactly what we recommend you do. No, don’t develop a drug habit. Buy ‘em! Rent ‘em out! Get wealthy!
But what about the business climate? Are there good jobs? We’re talking about a city with the 3rd largest number of Fortune 500 companies, the oil center of the United States, the 2nd largest port in the nation, home of two major airlines, and over 100,000 medical professionals. Don’t worry, the Houston business climate is good enough for you.
Speaking of climate, have you ever actually seen someone melt into a puddle? One thing about Houston, you won’t have to worry about thermal underwear or winter coats. This place hasn’t seen snow since the 1950’s or some crazy thing like that. If you’re interested in Houston income properties, visit www.JasonHartman.com/properties to learn more.
