My business is focused on the Western States and Texas. Why Texas? Each year, Texas leads the country in most seller financed transactions closed, so we go where the business is. And, the economy in Texas keeps growing. See this article below:
“Texas wrapped up 2017 with the fastest-growing economy in the United States, propelled by a resurgence in oil extraction that lifted business across the state.
The Lone Star economy grew at a 5.2% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the fourth quarter, with the mining industry the leading factor.
Texas added the most manufacturing jobs of any state from December 2016-2107.”
