    • Reasons why Texas is a Great Place to Invest

    Population Growth:

    Texas is one of three states dominating population growth. The U.S. Census Bureau says that Texas, Florida, and California will account for nearly half of total U.S. population growth (46%) in the next 25 years. The projections say that the top three states will gain 12 million people each by 2030. Having more people simply means there is going to be a need for more housing, and that's a good thing if you are looking to invest.

    Job Market

    Texas employment growth exceeded national employment growth rates in 2005. Recent Southwest Economy analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas confirms that Texas non-farm employment growth is outpacing the nation. The Texas economy in 2005 posted its best performance since 2000. According to Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data Texas personal income rose in 2005 and Texas ranked fourteenth in the nation for personal income. In 2004, Texas had a total personal income (TPI) of $690,376,069 and ranked third in the nation with a 6% increase from 2003.

    Quality of Life:

    Texas has two cities, Austin and Dallas on Forbes's top 10 lists of the Best Places for Business and Careers. Texas has no personal or corporate income tax - state or local. Texas ranks just 45th out of 50 states in homeownership. Texas has a low cost of living.
