Hey Patrice! I’m Larry and I too am in the Houston area. I am currently gathering knowledge and connections while I raise capital for a first deal. Welcome!

Hey all!

Happy Tuesday! I was wondering for those who invest in the Houston area what your favorite small banks and/or credit unions were to use to finance deals?

Hey everyone,

My name is Larry and I was born and raised in Houston. I’m looking to connect with other Houstonians to network and discuss RE. Let me know if you are interested in connecting for coffee or through here!

I'm finishing up a PhD and just had my first child in January. I'm looking to get into small apartments to begin with, along with private money lending from my IRA.

My question is: What have you done this week to bring you one step closer to your REI goals?

For me: I am currently saving capital, networking on BP and through mutual friends, and am practicing analyzing deals. What about you?

Hey Adi,

Not an inspector, but a newbie RE investor in Houston. I’d love to connect if you have the time.

Carlyle,I’m currently evaluating an apartment building in Dallas, but I live in Houston. The property currently has a PM managing it so it would be easy to keep them on.

Hey Arjun,

Nice to meet you. I am also in the Houston area and am just getting into real estate. I’d love to connect and grab a coffee sometime. How does that sound?

Hey Everyone!

My name is Larry and I live in Houston, Texas. I had a BiggerPockets account that I started two years ago that I never really used. Due to my OCD tendencies, and for the psychological benefit of a fresh start, I created an all new account.

I am a licensed professional counselor, a PhD candidate, a husband, and a new father. I am looking to get into REI with a focus on apartment buildings. I plan to turn my wife's and my actively earned income into appreciating assets. I am here today to connect with individuals who would be willing to help / provide advice or resources to assist me in my endeavors and vice versa.

My current goal is to save 200 to 250K for a down payment on a $1 Million Apartment building. Anyone who has experience in this area, what types of criteria do you use to evaluate a deal? I have a rough estimate for how to do SFH (as I have a really good friend who specializes in this) but am looking to jump into something with a higher entry barrier. Any and alL advice is welcome, especially books, articles, calculators, etc.

my goal is to start with one apartment, buy another every one or two years, and possibly roll it over into a more expensive building (~5 million) using a 1031. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, suggestions, insights, and contributions.
