We have a tenant who moved in with his family November 17th. He paid his deposit and first month rent but the December rent he was $100 short. He said he would have it to me Monday, which was fine. But he never showed up. We have emailed and texted saying he needed to pay his $100 and additional $50 late fee but have not heard anything back. What are the next steps I should take in order to get our money? I am very concerned that this is happening in the beginning. Thanks for the advice in advance!

I have the cash to do the rehab, but not enough to buy the house in cash, so that limits me. Do you have any other ideas on how I can get more cash in order to be able to buy houses for cash?

Sam can you explain the owner carry for me a bit more? How are they making more $ doing that? I tried to look it up on the forum but the situations are different and I really do not understand it. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Cynthia Long. I am moving to the Longview, Texas area and my husband and I are looking to expand our portfolio of real estate investing to the Longview and surrounding areas. I want to be wise with the decisions we make since we have 2 little ones. I have a lot of time to focus on this business, but do need some guidance. If there are any qualified REI's in this area that would like to work with me please message me. I have a background in sales and marketing and can help in any way in your businesses also, or pay. Thank you!

Ok thank you for the information! Please keep me posted because I would like to get connected!

Thanks Tom! My husband and I will be moving to the area in about 2 weeks... we have one rental property in The Woodlands, Tx.  We are looking to invest in a couple more. Do yall have any networking groups in Longview?

Well from what I have read Owner Finance can have more of a profit, but seems more risky then just renting. I have one rental property now, and before doing owner financing I need to learn a lot more about the ruke in it. I need a creative way to be able to invest in more houses because I do not think I will get approved for another house mortgage. Do you have any advice in that area?

Hi Hollly! I am in the same boat as you! I use to be a high school teacher in the Houston area. I also was going to get my real estate license just so I can make that extra money etc... As of right now I have one rental property 3/2 home right outside of Houston. Now I am looking to invest in the Longview, Tx area. Have you heard much about owner financing?

Hi! My name is Cynthia Long and my family and I live in Longview, TX. I have been reading books on all the different ways to invest in real estate properties and am a bit overwhelmed. As of right now we do have 1 rental property in the Montgomery, Tx area due to us having to move for my husbands job. I am now wanting to get some rental property in Longview, Tx. Is it better to owner finance? or just rent?
