Thanks Jay - much appreciated.
It's frustrating to see all of the AI generated responses clogging up our beloved forums versus true value add.

Hi @Donald Hatter, 

The only way that someone can assume an FHA mortgage is if the home is their primary residence, which most investors cannot or are unwilling to live in the home for a year to satisfy those restrictions. That is why they are trying to implement a subject-to financing strategy to purchase the home. I am not a fan of most of these contracts as they protect the investor, not the homeowner/lien holder.

If you had a VA loan, an investor could assume it without the primary residence restriction. There is a website WithRoam (https://www.withroam.com) that allows you to see all FHA and VA assumable loans. I utilize this website often to find VA assumable loans for my investors, as a lot of times, the low interest rate allows the numbers to pencil out in a LTR rental scenario

Hi Rereloluwa, 

I have an investor that both has vast experience and personally manages pad splits for himself and others. I have personally seen the numbers and in the right location, it can be very profitable. 

I am happy to help answer any questions you have as well as connect you with him as a resource as well.

Just a reminder that our meetup is tonight at Under the Radar Brewery!

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.
