Hi everyone, need some advices on my current situation...... My gf and I just married and both of us got a new job an year ago. I currently work at east loop and she works at downtown. We are looking for a townhouse around 200k budget at memorial area (77079 & 77024) The budget is partially injected by my parents who are thinking to make possible returns when we sell the estate. Back to the topic./.... Apparently, there aren't so many options for us to choose..... Additionally, I figured 200k could possibilly cover a single family house, but we are afraid that all the fees and property taxes may be a burden for us. The question is, 1. Do you think 77079 & 77024 would be a good place to buy townhouse?? 2. If you were me, would you buy townhouse or single family home? 3. Investment wise, what other areas you guys might consider is such case. Appreciate any ideas and suggestions. Pan
