Do you mean in the city of Houston itself or the surrounding area too? We are moving just 30 minutes or so outside of Houston soon.

Anywhere near Houston...really anywhere in Texas. My house just went up $25k. I haven't gotten any deals accepted and I offer more than what they list it for.

Thanks for the info. I have been a member of Lifestyles for a little over a year, but I hesitated to mention it because it seems like I would be suspected of working there if I said anything good about them...lol. Seriously, I do like that group a lot, but I am just a basic member. I have attended the education events, but not many networking events. I have wanted to attend RICH Club events, but I haven't yet. I think I need to get out and network more.

You exactly right Deidra, people will call you a spy saying you are only a Lifestyles member. There are a bunch of events you can go to in Houston. I am a Lifestyles member as well and attend both LU and RICH Club events. I like them both. Don't hesitate to ask any of us questions. Good luck to you and your husband.

Why wouldn't they just sell it instead of having someone wholesale it for them if the comps are 215K? I get very confused when people do stuff like this.

I know the feeling. I've made over 10 offers above asking and still have not got one accepted.

Thanks guys. I will look into all of those options. Ben are you personally familiar with the Wealth Club or Lifestyles Unlimited?

I know people who are members of Wealth Club but I am not. I am a member of Lifestyles Unlimited though. LU is awesome if you already have a good amount of money to invest with. If you have any questions about them you can post here or send me a pm.

You can save more a month than most people make in a month. That's a great start in any plan.
