I looking at my first rental properties right now. Is the Zillow rent estimate a good metric? Zillow seems to substantially overestimate the value of my personal residence.
I'm in the greater Houston area.
Thanks.

I live in Houston. I own a small townhouse in the Houston metro (midtown) and am looking at purchasing my first rental properties. Cap rates are very poor in Houston proper. Huntsville seems good - it's a college area (Sam Houston State University) and I've seen a number of properties that look like I can get at least 1% of purchase price / month. Any opinions on this area? Would it be too difficult for me to manage a property that's an hour and a half drive away? My wife an I like the Huntsville area and wouldn't mind driving up there once a month.
Thanks.
