Quote from @Gustavo Delgado:

your in Houston, focus in Houston so you can easily be around your investment. There is a lot of inventory as sales are down so you should be very aggressive with your offers, almost to the point of offending the seller. Due you diligence, especially with a dwelling policy (landlord ins) cus its expensive! You're gonna need to put a heavy down payment to somewhat cashflow because rents are not keeping up with expenses. I would focus in Cypress, Katy, Humble areas due to the schools. 

Most of these replies are all AI generated general advice and simply annoying. Gustavo here is speaking from experience, sharing great advice and I support it.

Houston is quickly turning into a buyers market. We have been submitting (very kind) but very low offers and sellers are talking to us, because we might be the first offer they have had in months. Play the numbers game or work with a good wholesaler that actually sells deals that work. I have an investor right now crushing the 8% COC on LTR with the BRRRR method. I have others turning to in-fill development, and some doing build to rent. Deals are out there, you just have to blend with the strategy that's currently working. I also agree with Gustavo's locations, more-so to stay out of the deep coastal areas that are experiencing far greater increase in insurance premiums, but also to their point, paying attention to school zoning for anything outside the 610 loop is a smart move.

I host meetups monthly if you would ever be interested in joining to learn what other investors are doing right now. Just send me a quick DM with your email address and I will add you to our invite list.

Quote from @Myka Artis:

I had about five arbitrage opportunities in Houston for a while, but I pivoted away from arbitrage in 2024. If you plan to arbitrage, ensure you negotiate your rents. If you are acquiring multiple units in one apartment complex, stagger your lease start dates to allow time to furnish them all without incurring rent payments. Also, when you're looking to arbitrage, make sure you fully vet the landlord and put clauses in there regarding how fast maintenance issues are resolved. If you're working with a private landlord on one house, make sure their insurance will cover vacancies and any other loss of income. Arbitraging is dependent on your landlord, whether you will make money or not, so the lease is where the money is made. I could go on for days regarding arbitrage. Still, my final sentiment is to invest all your profits in properties that you can own in the long term, thereby reducing your overhead of rent payments, which can be challenging to sustain over time, and engaging in arbitrage. 

This insight is spot-on. We had a single arbitrage unit in 2019, and it proved the point: you’re far better off owning a modest condo or house yourself than relying on a landlord who can easily make or break your success. Thanks for sharing this Myka.
