I am looking for an investment opportunity and I read about the land sale at Texas Grand Ranch. Being new in the real estate field I would like to get an honest opinion regarding better returns after a couple of years. Should I go with buying land at Texas Grand Ranch or buy a house somewhere in Houston area (option is open for the area) and put it on market for rent.\nSuggestions will be appreciated. \nThank you.

I agree with the other answers here, but also, we are missing information.\n\nHow much money do you have to invest?\nHow much land do you want to purchase?\nAre you consulting with a professional?\nAre you willing to wait for a decade or 2 to sell?\n\nI grew up in the Katy area and I know of a few individuals that purchased land in between Katy and Cypress, where 99 is currently built. Land was very affordable back in 1996 and people who are selling their land now for development are seeing amazing profits. The land did profit during the 2 decades they owned it because they had a cattle ranch and tax rates were low.\n\nIf you need more immediate returns, inner city investments are the way to go.

What can we do to make our communities better?

Better how? There are a lot of answers to this question. Clean up after yourselves. Vote with your dollars buy buying local. Support small business owners. Host community events. Be a Big Brother/Sister. Get involved ins discussions that make people think. Go door to door with seed packets for beautiful flowers. Clip coupons together.

Multiple offer situation \nBuyer offered above asking price

For my listings, I think it's prudent to wait until Monday and then review all offers. If you're a new agent, it's imperative for you to know that this Market is an insane sellers Market. You might be offering over asking price but you are not the only one.Additionally, offering over asking is not the only thing that is taken in consideration. Earnest money, option period, closing date, what percentage your buyers are putting down, what kind of financing they have. These are all things that a good listing agent would review with their client to make sure that they're picking the best offer.
