Taking over Houston, one deal at a time!

[Shaun Calloway]

Hi all! I'm relatively new to Houston, been here about 9 mos for work. I currently have and rent my home in a suburb of Baton Rouge, La. My family currently rents a house in Kingwood where my wife and I live with our 4 kids 5 and under. I have been reading every real estate book, listening to podcasts, and learning for years while telling myself I justed don't know enough, don't have enough saved, or have too much to lose to get out on the edge and take a chance in investing. I've finally come to the point that I can say, I have more to lose by NOT investing and have wasted so much time due to fear. But, that's all changing. I have determined that, right or wrong, I'm sealing the deal on an investment before year's end. I am writing this for some help/advise/what-have-you. I need to get hooked up with some local BP members and current investors in and around the Kingwood/Atascocita/Humble-NE Houston area. I can drive further, but with my work hours - did I mention i work in La Porte:/ - it would be better to meet some local....very local, folks to jump in with. I'm not asking for free help, I'm willing to add value by means of doing leg work, office work, phone calls, what have ya, but I have a little $$ squirrelled away, about enough for a downpayment or small reno budget, and am looking to partner with an experienced investor to show me the ropes while we pursure and complete a deal together in 2018. So BP, whatcha got!?:) Thanks in advance.
