Assuming receiving text messages from Google voice #'s is not a concern you can do the following:

Create 2 google voice accounts, forward one number as "home", the other account forward to "work" obviously both forward to the same number. Alternatively, you could get a Skype phone number which forwards for cheap. The more expensive option would be a 2 sim phone with a pre-paid "pay-as-you-go" number on one of those sims.

Hello Ned,

Thank you for the reply. I'll give it a shot and see what comes of it.

This question is about approaching property owners before the taxes have ever gone to auction.

I have been searching areas i'm interested in purchasing in for delinquent taxes totaling in the several years range. To my knowledge these properties have not been brought to a tax lien auction yet.

Have any BP members ever made an offer on a property that is seriously delinquent? If so how did you approach the owner?

UPDATE: The owner is over 65 and has deferred taxes until sale. Sales tax accumulates at 8% penalty a year and the owner owes taxes back from 1999. Perhaps there is a problem to be solved here? Just thinking out loud, advice/ideas graciously accepted.

That's great news David. Could you message me the contact info for Remodel & Model? I'm looking for a bonded/insured GM inside Beltway 8. The area you bought in is right along the "energy corridor" where many major oil companies have offices. If your tenants are in anyway involved in that industry you'll have no problem receiving rent.

Cheers

Austin

Welcome Elianne. There is a Houston BP meetup taking place at Pub Fiction in midtown at 6:30pm on Wednesday, March 5th. It's a great way to network and make some new friends.

@Jeff Greenberg Based on the appreciation in home values and rents i'm inclined to agree!

@Joe Haas Count me in, what time and where will the group be sitting? Is there a website for the group that's getting together?

Hello Everyone,

27 year old living inside the 610 loop in Houston. I have been making my way through the Ultimate Beginners Guide and closing in on the "big day" closing my first deal and buying my first home.

I am currently a renter and would like to purchase a multi-family owner occupied building in or very close to the west side of 610 before July of 2014. Looking forward to hearing from and meeting fellow Texans and Houstonians.

Cheers,

Austin
