Thank you so much for that info. I'll definitely look into those areas as well. Pearland homes are so expensive though but they doesn't mean I cant find a great deal anyway. I'm going to keep looking.

Hi Scott

I too have been looking at properties in this area. Folks are always looking for homes to rent there and homes are a steal! I'm a newbie so I'm really interested in the answer you come up with.

I lived in KC metro for about 10yrs so I know the area very well.

@Latrice Epps

Thank you so much. We are really enjoying the city so far or as much as we can due to the conditions.

This place is so big and trying to find the best place to invest in is kind of challenging. I guess I'll just have to treat it as of I'm looking for a place for my family to live and if the numbers look right just go from there. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm just so excited to get started.

Thanks for the add! Really looking forward to connecting with folks.

Welcome Clarence,

I'm new to the Houston area and to REI as well. I just wanted to say welcome! Im currently researching Houston market myself since moving here a few months ago.

@Taylor Hudgins Hi,

Yes I did some calling around today and most banks are only offering conventional loans for investment properties and that's it. I did some digging around and found a few lenders that deal with investors so I'll start there as well.

I'm still saving for my first property but perfecting my deal analyzing in the process.

A lot of homes I see need a little cosmetic rehab work. Who knows what else is discovered after inspection.

My question is, how do I pay for rehab cost? Do I factor in cost with my conventional loan? (Purchase price + rehab costs) or do I have to get a conventional loan plus a rehab loan?

Thank you, you guys are awesome.

@Caleb Heimsoth

That's why I'm here. I thought that was good 😶 I'm still looking in my backyard as well

I'm from OKC but lived in KS fir 8yrs. 

Thanks Kiera,

I will definitely connect with. Especially since you from my hometown✌🏾.

Thanks guys. You're right I have to remember  cash flow and not get caught up on appreciation. It's so hard not to, right? Lol. I think if I partner up with someone I trust it'll make long distance easier. I've been listening to the BP Newbie investor podcast and they had a guy on there this past week that bought his first property in Shrevport and he lives in Cali. It gave some great insight. You guys should check it out.
