Quote from @Torrey Taylor:

Thanks for the insight, Daniel — I really appreciate your perspective. I’ve definitely noticed the slowdown myself, and it’s good to know I’m not the only one feeling it.

I’m currently focusing on building strong relationships with both investors and GCs who need reliable support during tight timelines — especially for permit expediting, demo, and framing. I understand the investor pricing model, and I’m willing to work with repeat clients to make the numbers work for both sides. At the end of the day, I’m looking to provide consistent value and earn long-term trust.

If you or anyone in your network is ever in need of boots on the ground in Houston or the surrounding suburbs, I’d be honored to help however I can.

Thanks again,

Torrey | Blue Heart Construction

Hello Torrey, 

From what I hear from the contractors I work with, now is a slower time than usually. A lot of contractors that I use to work with are calling me to ask if I need help with any jobs. That is to say that you're not the only one struggling with leads right now. Word of mouth is usually the biggest driver for the guys I work with. Also, working with investors could be a good niche, because they keep coming back, but they will require lower prices. You won't be able to charge retail prices. 

Good luck!

Hello George, 

Being a Realtor is already giving you a big head start in your investing career. 

Since you're focusing on building long term wealth and rental income, focusing on value add Buy and Hold would be the way to go. Doing the BRRRR strategy will help you to be able to keep buying using less of your own cash.

Good luck with your investing, and feel free to reach out if you need anything.

@Daniel Tanasa for sure. I live in Katy. Those areas were the areas I've been looking. They will continue to grow. Just hard to pencil out and pull the trigger when I'm making so much more over here. I just end up buying more here lol. Have 6 projects going on right now here 


 That makes total sense. Seems like you found a wining formula there, just rinse and repeat.

@Daniel Tanasa nice work man! I've been studying the Houston market for a year now. 11K profit on properties out would be a huge win! For Houston I was willing to buy as long as it was in a good area, I'd be happy with just getting my capital back out. What area in H town are you buying in? 

I mostly buy in the suburbs, Katy, Cypress, Spring, Kingwood and Sugar Land. Good areas, good schools and good appreciation.  

Yeah, for Houston, getting all your money out is a big win. Even leaving 10k to 15k is not bad if you buy a solid property in a good area.

Good Evening Everyone!

Crazy to think how much bigger pockets has changed my life but I have almost never get on the forums even though I listen every day. I was a Federal Agent for the Department of Homeland Security when I got into investing back in 2021. listening to Brandon and David on the podcast I fell in love with it all and dove right in. Started out buying small multi family thinking that was my best option, then I learned about the BRRRR process and now I am doing that at scale! we have about 3-4 BRRRR's a month going on now. a lot of people talk about a "perfect BRRRR" being when you get all your mom back out of the deal. that would be a WORST deal for me lol. I am profiting 50-75K on every BRRRR I do. looking to connect with more BP fans in Texas. Most of my portfolio is in Corpus Christi TX. I was able to step away from my job with DHS in 2023 and my real estate journey has taken off even more. I got my license in 2024 just to have MLS access. I Do represent myself on all my purchases if they are listed as well as I represent a couple of my buddies locally who are investors. Love to talk shop! I recently started a RE Youtube channel @investorplaywithgabe sharing all my on going projects and things Ive learned along the way! would be a great resource for someone just starting out or wanting to scale. I didn't come from money or a trust fund baby. I started with just money I had saved by house hacking renting my rooms of my rental out to other agents and saving every penny I could, no college degree and now have a portfolio valued in the 8 figures and have retired at age 31. Lets connect! if your looking to get into a new market or if you are in Texas! I am also expanding more into Houston and San Antonio areas as well.


 Congrats on your success Gabriel, those sound like great numbers! 

For my best BRRRR I have profited about 11k after refinance here in Houston. To buy the house and to profit 50 to 75k, those are numbers most flippers don't make. If you're able to do 3 to 4 of those a month, you have created a beast, keep doing what you do because that's hard to beat.

Happy to connect if you're ever in Houston Area. 

Good luck!

Hello Abraham, 

Congrats for saving the 100k, that's giving you a lot of options. 

Market is slowing down, inventory is rising and buyers have more option now. I would start making seller financing offers to high days on market houses, and with 50k down you should be able to buy a house at market interest rate or around 7% (maybe even better). So you should be able to buy 2 more strong rental properties with seller financing with the money you have saved up now. 

DSCR could be another option, but my firt go to would be seller financing.

Good luck!
