THE RIGHT MARKET

WHY TEXAS?

It’s no secret that Texas has become a mecca for businesses, families and individuals fleeing high taxes on the coasts and gateway markets for the friendly business, tax, and social environs of Texas.
Based on a survey of CEO’s nationwide, Chief Executive Magazine once again named Texas the best state to do business in for the 16th year in a row. In the last place was California. It should come as no surprise that businesses are leaving California in droves for the greener pastures of Texas, where low business taxes, friendly regulators, and a diverse and growing labor force are big draws.

THE PLACE TO BE

No state income tax

Lower cost of living

Business friendly

Family-friendly

Mix of urban and rural areas

Plentiful jobs

WHERE THE JOBS GO...

SO DO THE WORKERS

Where the jobs go, so do the workers who are drawn to Texas for the relatively low cost of living and high quality of life – making Texas ideal for commercial real estate investing with companies seeking office space and workers seeking housing.
