H.I.T (Houston Investment Team) is a central (inner loop) meet up for Houston, Texas. The name H.I.T. was born out of the foundational idea that Bigger Pockets promotes being helpful to one another and being a "team" as we embark on, or further, our real estate investment journey.
This meet up is for distinguished investors and the newbie as we all have things to gain and learn from each other.
Our October meet up will be held at the Frontier Title Company. They graciously allowed us to use their fantastic office and conference room with views of downtown and memorial park. There won't be any sales pitches, guru bs, or items for sale. This is purely a meet up for like-minded people looking to share and grow with others.
Our October speaker, Chris Bello, was born in Brooklyn, New York but raised in Houston, Texas. After graduating from Texas A&M with a business degree, he got an offer to work for a large oil & gas company. 3.5 years and a few promotions in, he started to wonder what life outside the cubicle would look like.
He read a few books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and once he had that paradigm shift, he quit his job soon after, excited to conquer the world. After struggling with a few side-hustles, he heard a Bigger Pockets podcast on a local wholesaling company called Senna House Buyers. He joined the team and started regularly closing 5 figure deals within a few months.
Chris has since branched out on his own, having grown a network of real estate agents, investors, and more. He primarily focuses on investment and off-market properties, although he has started to spend more time with the residential side as well.
In his free time, Chris enjoys traveling, exercising, and podcasting. He is the host of the Entrepreneur Motivation Podcast, a show he's grown to 25,000+ monthly downloads. You can contact him or learn more by visiting www.chrisbello.com or following him on Instagram @ChrisBello09.
This will be our final event for 2019 with the holiday's coming up, and we will ramp back up in January 2020!
