I want to build financial independence through real estate investing. I'm unsure what the right path is, but I've been reading & watching podcasts about investing in owner-occupied, single family properties. My strategy that I'm interested in is buy and hold. I've crunched the numbers and if I could purchase 5 SFH (newly constructed homes) in the next five years, that would give me the financial independence foundation I'm looking for.
I finally have my why and plan of action on my REI journey. I would love to connect with like minded individuals who've invested in rental properties and started off with a buy and hold strategy. Please share your experiences and advice BP family. It would be much appreciated!!

Goodmorning BP family,
I'm just now starting out my REI journey & I wanted to connect with those who are investing in the Houston market. My interest is buy and holding rental properties that yield cash flow. I want to pick your brains about some highly profitable investing strategies, pitfalls that may arise investing into this market and any advice or experiences you would like to share. Thank you all in advance for your input and help!!

@Detrick Bell welcome to the forums and congrats on the first post! Are you looking for passive investments that are fully renovated or will you be adding value through renovations you are doing? Really depends on the route you are taking as to market I'd suggest. If you are getting your hands dirty I'd say stay local because your appreciation will be better long term but if you want the passive route there are several markets east of you and maybe north. Memphis, Little Rock, OKC or Tulsa would be great markets. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, would be happy to share my experience and two cents. Best of luck on the journey!
Thanks for the reply!! I’m looking for turn key properties that will provide cash flow. So it seems like more of the passive route you’ve mentioned, would love to connect with you and pick your brain!
