I'm new to this site, I've been licensed in Real Estate in the Houston area since 2000, and am looking to start investing, but would like to find a cash partner to work with me on deals in the Houston area. There are some pretty decent deals here in my area, but I just don't have the funds to get hard money lending, or rehab costs.

    Mark,

    Thanks Mark! I was up in the San Diego area for a bit back in 1988, and went on a date in Carlsbad, it was pretty nice, but the beach was a little too windy at the time.

    @Tim Pugh welcome to the site I'm a fellow newbie to the site as well, but I'm also new to real estate investing. I'm finding that this is an awesome site to gain knowledge in different areas of REI. Best wishes to you.

    Hi Tim

    So glad ur here on BP!

    U have come to the right place, it sounds like u have a huge head start with ur background so all power to u as u embark on ur journey

    My advice wud be too sign up for the weekly webinars they are seriously epic, and with all the other tools available I strongly believe if u can put together a good deal then u will be able to find a hard money investor for sure, I've learnt that it's about how good and clear is the deal to bring in ROI

    Also stick around daily and get aquainted with the surroundings and like minded people, I have learnt so much just from reading threads and interacting!...the world is truley urs Tim, all the best on ur journey :)

    Hey fellow Houston Realtor :) If you upgrade your membership to Pro, you can go into the Marketplace here on BP and post deals, desire to find a partner, etc. Might be the easiest route for you to go to accomplish your goals. Lots of investors on BP have the cash but not the deals, so that's the best place to find them. Good luck and hope to see you around!
