Thoughts on the Houston / Katy RE market? Do I exit out of my rental property before the oil and gas industry goes down? If I do, the money will be rerouted to the SoCal / OC market at a lower cap rate but potentially higher cap gain with much more volatility.

I have no idea. It’s part of my question.

The housing market in Houston has been hot for a very long time. Seems like it’s no longer directly tied to the O&G market.

That is correct about the o&g market. As Houston becomes more diversified, we are being less and less tied to the o&g market. Katy has a lot of potential since Houston is expanding out instead of up right now.

I was offered a promotion but due to internal policies the max comp they could offer was way under market value. I countered and was denied. I took time to think about it, being disappointed I applied for other jobs. Monday came and I decided to accept the offer. A week before starting my new position I got a call for one of the jobs I applied for. I am now going through to the last round of interviews the same week I start my new position. Would it be bad practice to accept another offer now?
