Buying rental property in TX gulf region good or bad idea?

[Juan David Maldonado]

Hello, 

I've been checking out real estate markets in the Texas Gulf region such as Corpus Christi, Victoria, and the RGV. Is it a good idea or bad to invest in those areas of Texas because of hurricane season and flooding? I understand there are flood maps on the FEMA website and the need to buy flood insurance. I am interested in rentals not flipping in those markets.

THANK YOU
