Paralysis by analysis

[Alvaro Rodriguez]

Hello, I'm a newbie in Houston Texas. I have built relationships with multiple wholesalers but it looks like they always inflate the ARV. I have moved to try to buy and hold, but I haven't gotten my offers accepted on properties where rent would be at least 1% of purchase price. That took me to try a different strategy which was to get a list of a lot of houses in Houston that are tax delinquent. Also I am able you tell how much equity they have. But I don't know how to approach them after this. Also, how do I go about offering them to buy their portion if I don't have all cash. Does anyone know a friendly mortgage company. I just need some guidance on how to execute a first deal. I'm running in circles.

Thank you
