new investors consistently underestimate how expensive investment properties are in the first few years. 

I'm new to the real estate investing world.

From region, to heavy-ish rehab (compared to purchase price or scope itself), to being too far outside of town, just to name a few.Sometimes it might be worth checking in with another lender, especially if you can find a good broker who can navigate the implications well and provide good recommendations without any 'due diligence fees' or paying for multiple appraisals.It can get costly, with either your finances or your time, if you waste too much trying to fit a square-peg into a round-hole.

Hello bigger pockets family my name is James and I'm fairly new to real estate investing, I've been educating myself myself with the lingo, concepts, and often used terminology in this field.

It's exciting to explore new ventures in real estate.

It sounds like a fantastic way to create your own deal-flow pipeline right from the start, which is often the hardest part for new investors.

Just to clarify, are you a new lender in Houston, or are you looking for a lender there?
