The reply could depend on your specific needs; but, regardless of where you are, there are a few factors to note as you decide whether or not investing in real estate is right for you. They include: mandated disclosures, any restrictions on deposits and pet rent, the breadth of tenants' rights, and, ultimately, how challenging it might be to evict a tenant if there are issues. That said, Texas is home to popular destinations like the Alamo, the San Antonio River Walk, and the Houston Space Center as well as colleges and universities like Rice University, the University of Texas, and Texas A&M University, so you shouldn't experience any shortage of potential tenants if your property is close to them.
