mixxalot I am all for buying in texas if it makes sense to you, but one thing to consider is that you never consider a home an investment in that state. The reason being is that there is no end to how far out someone will build. In the greater Dallas area, Mckinney, and Wylie and places further out, have had a ton of building. What this means to you is that as long as people are willing to move to the next outer ring (and if course they are) that you don’t get the appreciation elsewhere. So by all means buy in Texas because you work there and enjoy it, but I wouldn’t buy there as an investment.
