No deals?

[Seth Willis]

hello,

I am a new investor based in the Houston/Galveston county area and I have recently been looking over a dozen or so houses and cannot seem to find any that cash flow, and the ones that do are only by about $20. Is this area just not a good market? Of course people have to have good luck here since their are rent houses I'm just wondering if I'm looking at the wrong houses or if I'm not doing enough when it comes to finding better deals. Does anyone recommend getting my real estate license? Is it that much better to have for MLS ?
