Regardless, I am now seeking the best exit strategy for this property but am also willing to hold it for cash flow.Property profile:Location: West San Antonio near Sidney St (Is it advisable to just list the address here?)

But what has us Realtors really excited is the nearly finished and giant VA Hospital, highly visible from Hwy 190 there on Fort Hood, and the new Texas A&M Central Texas campus on the South-west side of town (also very sleek and visible from Hwy 195). 

We are establishing a new banking relationship for A new LLC in southwest Florida. Any recommendations of local banks favorable to real estate investors?

Houston proper is very much hit or miss depending on the actual schools, whereas the surrounding school districts generally have better reputations overall.There are deals to be had in Spring, east of I-45 (Timber Lane & North Spring); west of I-45, north of the Beltway; Spring ISD; Klein ISD; most areas in the Cypress-Fairbanks school district have strong rental returns (Bonhomme); Katy ISD (Bear Creek; Glencairn); Alief; Mission Bend; Missouri City (Quail Valley; Quail Run; Briargate; etc.); Sugar Land (Townewest & Barrington Place); Deer Park; Friendswood; parts of Pasadena, La Porte, & Baytown.Also, a lot of times folks will refer to "Cypress" and "Spring" but actually mean northwest or north Houston, so be mindful of that.In terms of development and appreciation, it's taking place all over, but most heavily west of I-45 North and South.Definitely let us know if you ever have any other specific questions.

@Dusty Corning I'm looking at North-West, West and South-West Houston.

@Carlton Kohler I am a fellow Georgian in Sharpsburg, GA which is in the West Ga area.

I am focusing on the west and south side, but I acquire deals on the north side as well for my investors.Thank you again.Melissa Pitts

Hello @Larry SmetHaving just started out, I've been focused mainly on the areas of Dupage & Kane counties (west suburbs) but I'm certainly interested in looking at other areas throughout Chicagoland.

So far my best bet still looks like Raleigh, or cheaper more rural area west of me.

(fix and flipping, and rental properties) I am in the west valley area.
