New Investor - Houston, TX and surrounding areas

Hey everyone, I am new to investing and have been working on getting my first deal. I have done mailers, driving for dollars, cold calling, email marketing etc. with no luck thus far but still working at it! I have a website set up with SEO and backlinks being built so just looking for deals in the meantime until I can generate traffic to there. Looking to learn from everyone here, partner with those interested and work together to help make us all successful!

Welcome Chad! Don't forget the MLS... just because it is not off market does not mean you cannot find a great deal. Everything is negotiable! Also try the FSBO filter on Zillow. FSBOs have a tendency to not do a good job marketing themselves so less people that are searching the MLS see them. And never be afraid to build relationships with us agent types! I have experience with my own LTR/STR and have helped numerous clients get their first deal.

Good Luck!
