Texas continues to be a top choice for positive domestic migration. This increase in population feeds a positive apartment investment environment. Read on to learn why Texas at the top of the list in prudent apartment investment portfolios.
1) Bold Vision and Legendary Spirit
Texas is chock full of legendary spirit and vision. The eccentric and prolific Howard Hughes was born in Houston. A billionaire aviator, movie producer, and adrenaline-seeker, his vision and drive fueled innovation across multiple industries. In 1935, he set a new airspeed record, taking his plane to 352 mph. He set two records with transcontinental flights and piloted a Lockheed 14 on a flight around the world. He turned Hollywood upside down with his bold visions in filmmaking and made legendary strides in the oilfield with Hughes Tool Company.
Fearless oil well firefighter, Paul (Red) Adair gained his reputation beginning in 1962, when he put out the oil fire in Algeria dubbed, the Devil’s Cigarette Lighter, that had been burning for six months fueled by a half a million cubic feet of gas per day. His team was among the first to put out the devastating oil fires in Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm. Red Adair and his company inspired the 1968 action-packed film, Hellfighters, starring none other than the legendary John Wayne as Red Adair.
Oveta Culp Hobby was a trailblazer with vision. She wasted no time earning her law degree from the University of Texas Law School in 1925, quite an extraordinary feat back in the day. She served in the Texas House of Representatives, and as Assistant City Attorney in Houston. She married William P. Hobby, the former Governor of Texas. In 1941, Mrs. Hobby headed to Washington, D.C. to serve as Director of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAC). WAC members were the first women, other than nurses, to serve in the United States Army. Initially led by Colonel Oveta Culp Hobby, the program had over 150,000 members who eventually served in the WAC program. As a result, Colonel Hobby was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. Not bad for a little woman from Texas.
