A good friend of mine started a property maintenance company in Brooklyn, NY (super competitive market) and grew his database by showing up to development sites, following investors and developers on social media, introducing himself to local property owners, posting his day to day on Instagram, and following up with his database regularly.I also agree with everything @David Peschio and @Drew Sygit suggested here!

Also, he said that makes evictions super easy because they didn't sign an actual lease.

That’s super helpful.

His name is Patrick Allen and he has been super helpful to me in my quest here in Tucson.

Thanks for the detailed response, that’s super helpful.

Not sure what you are super excited about @Brandon S.

The season is not super long if you are focused on the lake crowd, if you are in areas for hunting though that does certainly open up some other avenues.

I mean if we have super excellent credit, reserves and a 20% down payment but the DTI won't look good until the primary is sold will a lender even look at us? 

Replacing older doors (not a super cheap thing).

I think hearing real experiences from local investors would be super valuable for those of us looking into affordable/shared housing strategies in Houston.Appreciate any insights or stories you can share!
