Houston Area Buy and Hold SFH

[Mark Zermeno]

Wondering who all in Houston, TX is currently looking for their first rental property investment? I have been actively searching for the past month with a RE agent but have been outbid on 4 homes thus far. I am bidding on home that are on the MLS, both turnkey and some needing rehab.

Any advice on finding better deals off market? MY RE agent runs off market searches but I havent seen much. We also started looking at foreclosed homes as well.

I am not in a rush to seal my first deal but finding more deals and putting in offers would help my odds.

Look forward to any advice!
