Buying Rental Homes In A Sellers Market- Houston to Galveston

[Chris Nowlin]

I have been closely watching houses as they pop up and sell within days. It's easy to tell which houses will move quickly, but are they good deals? I was hoping to get a discussion going on strategies that people have used for determining what is a good deal to jump on when the market is hot.

Is it better to buy a house that has been sitting for a while?

Pay more for move-in ready?

Please advise!
