Where do most of you look in Houston?

Question

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ryan and I am a new member to this site. I am from Houston and I was wondering where most of you look for properties? Website? How do you find the good deals? Do you just drive around and look? Would love to hear some input.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan, welcome to BP. You'll find properties in many places it just depends on what your looking for? What are you planning on focusing on? Rentals ? Flips? You can find those in any and all places but it does take due diligence, regardless if you're working with a real estate agent. I'm a wholesaler and soon to be rental investor. You can find deals from many a wholesaler if you sign up on their lists. Similarly, you can ask an agent to help you filter the MLS for deals according to your specification. Come to the JetLending event next week which you can find on their website and you'll meet ask kinds of deal feeders.

i think its more of a mix at least for me that's how its been, and yes i'm pretty new to this as well.

i'm working with a agent, i'm trying to network with other investors, flippers, wholesalers, etc.

there a few local groups that have meet ups a couple time a month all around town.

on the weekends i go the the neighborhoods i see myself owning a rental property and drive around looking at any for sale signs, distress looking homes, grass that hasn't been cut in a while stuff of the sort.

on the podcast your hear a lot about yellow letter and cards being sent out. the MLS is a great place to look. websites such as HAR, Zillow and others as well can be very helpful.

sorry i wasn't of more help just trying to share what i learned in the last 6 months or so here on BP.

That's a good question on the funding. I don't have cash to buy one yet. Would have to look for help.

Tim Shin · Answer

So how are you going to fund the deals? Conventional mortgage? Cash? Or Hard Money? Answering these questions will probably control where you look for deals.

Ryan Taylor · Answer

I would like to buy and hold. Once I have that down I would like to learn the flipping aspects of it all.

Tim Shin · Answer

That's cool! But what are you going to focus on?

Ryan Taylor · Answer

Thank you for the information. I have said for year's that I wanted to do this. Just never got into it. That's all about to change. I'm rdy to move forward
