Hello Everyone,

I was told BiggerPockets would be a good place to get some information on what it’s like to invest in Real Estate in Houston Texas. I’m currently a landlord of 3 homes in Charlotte, NC. I own all of the homes myself and rent them out, anyways the market here is becoming very expensive and I was suggested to look into Houston, Texas. I’ve never lived anywhere other than Florida and The Carolinas so I’m very uneducated about Texas. Of course I could google but I rather hear about it from Investors that live in Texas themselves or anyone familiar with Houston.

I guess I’m just trying to get a feel and hear from those familiar with investing out there, what is it like? Is it hard finding tenants? What are the bad areas (crime)? Are the natural disasters a common occurrence, what insurances etc should I put into place? What are things I should look at for, be aware of? Taxes? Etc. I have so many questions I rather someone just lay out some general pros & cons for me if possible based on their experience.

I hope this makes sense, thank you!
