I want to own property in the loop. Heights, Montrose, Rice military. Who are these people? is it all old money or do you know any recent success stories? property taxes must be through the roof. Did most of them own before the real estate value rose?

But this doesn't really answer the question. It doesn't really make sense when you consider the income distribution in Houston. There 10x more upper income homes than there are upper income households.

My wife and I are in the 97th percentile of HHI in Houston and 650K at these interest rates is a stretch for us.

I know you are looking for inside the loop, however if you decide to expand to the beltway let me know! I own a David Weekly home near City Centre, 2 minutes from I 10 and the Beltway.

I'm a realtor on the side and own a few property, feel free to DM me to chat more

They are attorneys, specialty doctors, CEO, people with family money, people who prioritize location over other spending, and people who bought 4 years ago.

I bought in the heights in 2017 before prices and interest rates went through the roof. Property taxes and home owners insurance costs are starting to make my eyes water

I'm looking in heights as well.
How much you bought it for in 2017?

Hi guys. I have a query with regards to the Income tax proof submission.

So I have claimed exemptions on the following-
1) HRA
2) 5 year term deposit(fixed deposit) under Section 80C
3) Interest on education loan under Section 80E

I have also provided previous employment details.

Guys I didn't know that we have to submit declaration forms as well. Can you please tell me which are the declaration forms that I would need to fill and submit??

Thanks in advance :)
