The best time for investing property in Texas

[irisemars]

I live in Dallas, TX for 5 years and I have seen that the property is often stable in the early of the year. So I decide use my save money in 5 years to buy a apartment for rent. Do you think now is the best time to do that?

The US stock market recently took a tumble but seems to have recovered extremely quickly. Some experts believe there is more volatility ahead in the short to medium term which could impact expected interest rate rises during 2018. While any delay in increasing base rates would be beneficial for the US property market, volatility in the stock market whether political or economic based does tend to have a knock-on effect to investor sentiment. Personally, I would hold off acquiring US property at the moment but I am not up to speed with the Texas market.

I am not wholly convinced that the political situation in the US is steady enough to start investing significant amounts of money in the property market. I would be interested to learn about the stability of the Texas political scene - is it a lot steadier than the general US situation?

The Fed is suggesting both US equities and real estate may be over valued at the moment. Interesting read.
