Multifamily Units in Southwest Houston

[Eric Peterson]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to BP, lived in Houston all my life. I'm hoping to score a deal on a multifamily unit, duplex, triplex, etc. in the next few months. I currently live in Sharpstown, I love the area with it's proximity to shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Furthermore it seems to be a lot safer than when I was a kid, plenty of families, people walking dogs in my neighborhood. I see a lot of duplexes driving along Gessner but when I check the MLS (Redfin) I can't find anything worth a look, but I know they must be out there!

I'm still a couple months away from getting into financing (my lease is up in August). Just wanted to know if anyone is familiar with the area, maybe the deals are out there, just not on the MLS? This will be my first time buying a property. I feel like southwest Houston is a pretty decent place to live, flooding issues aside.

Curious to know what some of you think and if anyone has bought properties in SW Houston.

Thanks

-Eric
