New Investor in Houston

Adam Gagne

Hello,

I'm a new investor in the Houston area. I am looking for rental investment properties and have not had any success using the MLS. What are the best ways to find properties that will need light or no rehab at below-market value for a cash purchase? I would like to connect with some wholesalers or folks that could provide such property listings to me. What is the best way to find these (honest) wholesalers? I plan to do cash purchase (with re-finance) for most of my properties

Thanks,

Adam

Adam, I don't know where you live, but I have a personal rule. I don't buy properties that aren't within 30 minutes driving time from my residence.  Once you get a few properties you may want to change that time to 15 minutes 😊

All my properties are in the Houston Suburban South East area. I would avoid anything in Harris County though.
