Interviewing Realtors

El Caliente said

Yeah, Houston Ian weird. How do you find a home you can get equity out of? We bought our home in 2014, and now 4 years later the market improved, our neighborhood turned a new leaf, and we got a Trader Joe’s bump, we will probably get $100k on top of what we bought it for. Can you find homes like that in Houston?

Is there any place in Houston where I am not paying HOA fees? I hear nothing but bad things about HOAs.

I'm sure you can find subdivisions where the price will appreciate over the coming years, but it would require some investigation and market knowledge/insight to find those.

HOAs - Not sure you can get away from them. Those swimming pools, club houses, tennis courts, common areas, security guards and etc are nice, but ultimately have to be paid for by the homeowners. There is a wide variance in HOA fees depending on the level of extras in each subdivison.

As mentioned above www.har.com will be a tremendous help to you.
