Hey there everyone! Just wanted to come on here and ask for some insight. I'm fairly new to the industry, yet have taken lots of time to understand the logistics and markets seen in real estate wholesale. I wanted to ask if anyone has advice when it comes to looking for new investors in other states. I live in California, but wish to start doing my practice within other states as well. Please let me know if you have any information willing to share, or if you may even be potentially willing to work with me to purchase some properties throughout Houston, or even other locations, as I have my eyes on a couple of options and have been in contact with multiple sellers! Thank you :)
Fellow CA here, living in OC, and I see a lot of people from CA looking for out-of-state opportunities because, as we all know, CA is not the best when it comes to ROI & cash flow.
May I ask why you are looking at Houston? Texas was at one point a market I was advising clients to invest in, but as the numbers started to weaken, I've directed them to other markets in GA, KS, FL, TN and AL.
If you are asking about buying properties retail, I would make sure you chat with people actually operating and doing the things you are wanting to do in the markets you are interested in. I see and hear about a lot of people and agents on instagram that try to sell you a dream (specifically with Houston rentals) that aren't exactly factual.
Feel free to private message me and we can connect to chat about your plans. I am a central Houston real estate agent, investor and developer.
I am an agent based in Houston and work with a licensed wholesale brokerage here. When it comes to finding investors in new markets, I highly recommend joining local FB groups. They are a great place to network, ask questions, and even find buyers.
I'd be happy to connect and chat more. Feel free to reach out!
Hey Jaqsin, welcome to the Bigger Pockets community!
I'm based in Houston and work with investors through my brokerage, helping them find deals, both on and off market. Always happy to connect and chat!
As for finding investors in new markets, I’ve seen a lot of success through Facebook investor groups and virtual real estate meetups. There are some really active Houston-specific groups where people are always networking, partnering on deals, or sharing insight on what’s working locally.
Feel free to reach out if you want to talk Houston strategy or compare notes on what you’re seeing from sellers.
@Jaqsin Amber there are many ways to find investors anywhere in the states. Among the faster ones are join local investor-focused Facebook groups, Reddit communities, skool communities, etc. You can find tons of investors in those online communities.
Slower one is to build your own buyers list. Having your own active buyers list is a huge asset in wholesaling. Not only you can utilize it for your own deals but you also can JV with other wholesalers (who don't currently have their own list) to help them dispo their deals (and get paid about 50% of the profit).
I actually wrote an entire article about various ways hot to find cash buyers. If you are interested in reading, let me know and I'll DM you the link to my article.
