It would also depend how much i need to put in to top up the rental payments.

Dallas, Austin, Houston

Is there income and capital growth?

What would the average property cost in those 3 cities?

What do people think of Phoenix?

Why doesn’t anyone talk about areas such as San Fransico, Oakland, Memphis, Seattle

As an outsider these areas seem to be very solid and they have cheap property’s as well as forecolures aswell

any thoughts experts?
