Buy First Property in Houston - Help Needed!

Jaime Arredondo

Posted

It is an exciting time for my wife and I because we are ready to start looking for our first property! Currently, we are living in an apartment and would like to find our personal residence before June.

Plan:

- What we want: Distressed home we can live in and fix at the same time

- Areas considering: Katy, Pearland, Sugarland, possibly West Houston

- Estimated Home Value: $180,000 (max)

- Financing: FHA loan for a low monthly payment

- Goal: Fix the property, refinance, rent it out and repeat!

Needs:

- Recommended real estate agent or how to find the appropriate one

- Any comments or suggestions to our plan?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
