Seeking Partner(s) for Houston SFH Acquisition

[Tom MacDonald]

Hello BP, 

I am seeking mentorship and/or partners to acquire a buy & hold property in Houston, Texas within the $100k - $200k range within the next three months.  I'm interested primarily in purchasing a conventional 3/2 rental located within a good school district such as Pearland or Friendswood.  I am also open to hybrid rental/Air B&B potentials near the Houston Medical Center, with which some friends of mine have had great success.

What I can offer in a prospective partnership is capital for down payment, committed market research, and physical 'boots on the ground' investigation of potential properties here in Houston until Wednesday, November 25.  After that date I will be working in Sydney Australia.  (I'm looking to invest in Houston vs. Sydney because Sydney is an extremely difficult market and Houston is relatively accessible.  I also know the Houston neighborhood landscape fairly well, having grown up and worked here.)

What I am looking for is a serious investment partner(s) - preferably with an existing portfolio - to help in loan pre-qualification, deal analysis and mentorship.  I also need references to good realtors - preferably who are also serious investors themselves - in the Pearland/Friendswood and Texas Medical Center area.

Thanks in advance!

Tom
