Hey Jason! I would recommend joining a ton of FaceBook groups specific to your area. Message sellers and investors directly. Schedule a phone call. You would be surprised how many contacts I have gotten just from FaceBook alone. 

For the first time in 6 years, the US housing inventory exceeds 1 million, according in Inman (June 2025). This signals a major shift from the low inventory, high competition market that has been seen since the start of the pandemic. 

More inventory = more opportunity for investors, however, regional dynamics and rates matter more than ever. 

Was wondering for those of y'all investing: are you changing your strategy now that inventory is rising? 

Hey Mason! I suggest you join a ton of FaceBook groups in your area. I have had luck reaching out directly to people who are active in the groups through FaceBook messenger. If they are serious about their business they will get back to you in a timely manner.

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Houston and am looking to get more knowledgable on the local real estate scene. I'd love to hear from investors already active in the area. Was wondering:

Which Houston submarkets are seeing the most activity right now? (cash flow, appreciation, flips, etc) 

Are there any local meetups in the area? 

Any tips for building a network? 

Would love to connect with people in the area - whether your experienced or just getting started. Thanks! 

The recent increase in steel tariffs is creating a ripple effect across the real estate and construction industries. 

With steel prices climbing, developers are facing significantly higher material costs, especially for multifamily and affordable housing projects that rely on steel for structural components. 

Was wondering what are your thoughts on how rising steel tariffs are impacting housing development, and what solutions, if any, should be considered? 

Welcome to BP! I wish you the best of luck investing!

I'm currently looking to connect with real estate investors here on BP. 

I was wondering are there any active Facebook groups, online communities, or other real estate investor groups that are recommended to join for up-to-date info and networking opportunities? I’m looking to expand my connections and stay informed on what’s happening in the market. 

Looking forward to connecting with some like-minded individuals! Thanks!
