Hi Mariana!

I'll send you a private message.

Thanks

Chris

 Hi Christopher.  No worries!  We could set up a zoom time after hours... I typically work until almost 7pm.  Send me a message and let me know some good times for you.

Hi Christopher!

I can't address some of your questions above.  However, we can help with you research on construction.  We've done ground up construction and have done duplexes in the past.  We'd be happy to either discuss via zoom or even meet you at your property.  No obligation... just want to share our experience with you.

All the best!

Hi Ricky, I will send you a contact via direct message.

Hi Richard!

If you change your mind on having a contractor oversee and manage your project, we'd be happy to help you.  We've done new builds in and around the Heights.

Best of luck!

Hi Jacob!

How is the condition of the house?  Are you getting any feedback from the showings?  

Since you're so close to downtown, have you thought of Air bnb?

All the best!

If investing is your goal, then I'd spend the time at REI meet ups and learning REI. The license is something you could get later on if you feel it is something that could support your REI business.

Hi Michelle!

Welcome!  I'm a former property manager and currently a contractor here in Houston.  I would be sure you set a firm rental criteria and stick with it.  When you change your criteria for someone just to fill a vacancy, you run into more problems.  Just a couple of pointers:

1. Find a good company to do a thorough background check, credit, and have them call for rental verification.  

2. You'll also want to see the most recent pay stubs (do not accept screen shots... ask for PDF's form their payroll system).  

3. If they have pets, have them set up a profile on the pet screening portal.

Bottom line, stick to your criteria.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions about renovations.

All the best!

Chris

 I'll be there!  Looking forward to it!

Hi Sarah!

Welcome to BP and to the Houston market. I just moved out here in July to open up an office for my construction company. We also invest, mostly in multi-family. I've got an offer on a triplex in Vegas and if that doesn't go through, I've got my eye on a couple of properties here in Houston. If you find a local REIA, I'd be interested in joining myself.

Thanks!

Chris
