Thank you for the reply Chris, much appreciated. The reason I would prefer to wait is I am currently under a lease agreement with my apartment complex and there is a fine for breaking it. I would have to look into it further  - especially if the "right" deal happens to come along - which it very well may. 

I'll be sure to stay on the lookout for networking events. There's a few groups that looked interesting in the area.

Hello everyone! Hope you're enjoying the weekend and a great turnaround for the Astros in the World Series.

My name is Troy and I recently moved down to Houston from the Northeast after graduating college back in May. I'm currently renting an apartment in the Heights and am looking to enter the Houston real estate market. Preferably within the next year or so. My current goal is to start with a duplex and to live in one of the units while renting out the other. So far I've read 'The Book on Rental Property Investing' and some light readings on the forum but there is still so much to learn. 

It would be great to meet up and network if anyone is looking to do so. I'm trying to learn as much as possible and am willing to buy the first few rounds of drinks to do so or help out where I can! 

I also saw there are a few meet-up groups around Houston - are any of them better than others for the area of investing I'm interested in?

Thank you for reading my post and can't wait to become more involved with this great community!
