My parents lived in NYC for many years and moved to Katy 5 years ago.Your money goes much further in Katy than it does in a lot of other areas.The area is relatively safe and from what people tell me, the schools are also very good.I personally don't like that Katy(and Houston) is a car centris city.

You’ve run the numbers on properties and know what a “good deal” looks likeIf you can check most of those boxes, it might be time to move from *learning* to *doing* — even if that first action is making offers, talking to agents, or walking properties.Real estate is one of those things where you’ll learn *so much more* once you’re in motion.

Hey Jacob,I started with house hacking before moving my money out of state.

Yes, one of the biggest lessons I learned was that if I don't take time finding the right team members, I'll just be adding extra points of failure to the project.

I would also aske for contact information for your team--attorney, insurance, contractors so I copuld help coordinate all angles and hit this project from all angles.   

Smart move@Jonathan Taylor Smith!  

Thank you,-Matthew  I would try to visit these places and build out a solid team

Conversely, if you don't have much capital, you will likely be looking at a path that requires more "sweat equity" from your direct participation in the business.Finding a team either locally or out of state will be a great first step.
