Hey everyone! Southern California RE investor trying to build up my portfolio. I recently traveled to southeast Tx about an hour east of Houston and started checking out what the market offers. I've been looking at single families for a couple months with an agent and found a home in a decent neighborhood that's tenant occupied for $1500. It’s a 3 bed 1 bath 1420 sq ft going for $150k which I got under contract for $132k. I would be paying cash, using most of what I have set aside for an investment. I don't bring in enough monthly to currently qualify for a mortgage but am seeking cash flow. I will be cash flowing nearly $600/month after all expenses. This area has a large oil industry and multiple large hospitals so I think the rentability is good. I'm currently under contract and still on the fence if I should stay in the deal. Does anyone have any thoughts on this scenario?
