New investor to Houston

[Chuck H.]

Hi all,

I've lived in Houston since 2006. I've owned some properties up in Dallas that I'm thinking about moving down here through a 1031 exchange. Closing on one today.

I'm looking for replacement properties in Pasadena, Deer Park, La Porte, Friendswood area near my work. $100-130k range. I'm not averse to a project if it needs some work. Prefer no flooding. Where can I go for the best leads? The MLS had a few, but I was outbid. I have cash and can close anytime. Thanks.
