Post: Newbie Investor Choosing a Market

Nicole,

I'm a licensed Realtor in Houston, TX; Washington, DC; and Maryland.

I currently build duplexes in the Houston metro area. Let me point out some highlights to you. Regardless of where you go, with $40,000 typically would best be used as either soft cost (due diligence) money on a new construction for sale project, or alternatively you can buy a $200,000 property, putting 20% down. 

Personally, I prefer the first option. Reason being, at this point in your life it sounds as though you are younger, and truly your money would be best spent multiplied. While you can buy a property and rent it out, a typical return would only be around 5-8% cash-on-cash per year (which you can beat by investing in the stock market). Not to mention, with a rental property, your liquidity will be zero to none and when a problem arises, that $40,000 will have already been utilized as a downpayment on your property. Alternatively, by spending the money to complete due diligence on a new construction project, (where investors in the Houston market target around 22-30% ROI), you would be able to raise capital, complete the construction, and sell it, growing your money by almost 1/3 to 1/4.

Reach out to me if you have any questions about the Houston real estate market, investing, or new construction. I currently live in Washington DC (NOMA)

Post: Using an RMLO with owner financing

When working with an RMLO for owner financing, you typically submit mortgage applications to them, and they handle the loan origination process. An RMLO specializes in residential mortgage loans and ensures compliance with relevant regulations. While you can work with any mortgage officer, an RMLO may have specific expertise in handling owner financing transactions and can guide you through the process more effectively. It's advisable to choose an RMLO familiar with the intricacies of owner financing to ensure a smoother and legally compliant transaction.

Post: Looking for Investors in Houston

Hi Everyone,

My name's Brian Schroeder. I'm currently working in affordable housing development. 

I am looking to acquire 2-4 units in Houston, TX by the end of the year and I'm looking for an investor to enter into the deal with.

Thesis: Buying a property before rates decline will allow for appreciation as demand rises.

Location: I am looking for properties in Houston's South Medical District given the Helix project.

Financing Options: I have spoken to a lender who will provide a loan at 0% down and a 7.5% interest rate. The issue with this is that the high leverage and high rate does not allow for cashflow in most cases. 

My question: Does anybody know of any ways to make a deal work with minimum down payments? If not, does anybody want to join me in funding a down payment? Myself and my partner are able to put up a combined 30,000.

Hi everyone,

I'm a wholesaler out of Houston, TX. We source using Propstream but have started to see a decline in recent KPIs, perhaps because we've run through a lot of the numbers already dialed. Does anyone have alternative list generating services our contacts? please message me ASAP.
