Hello All, 

I am looking to connect with agents that are local to Houston and its submarkets. If you have experience working with investors, even better! I am looking for opportunities to flip or BRRRR on the Northside, but I am open to buying all over Houston! I have the capital available to perform quickly.

Please message me if you would like to connect! 


 I see this question a lot and have always been curious:  What makes an agent 'investor friendly' ?  Or I guess I could also ask what makes an agent 'investor unfriendly'


 I have ran into agents that DO NOT like working with investors whether it's because they have had a bad experience with one or automatically put a negative connotation to the word "investor". 

I would count an agent as investor friendly if they have worked with investors, enjoy doing it, and maybe even own investment properties themselves. In any other case, I wouldn't count them as investor friendly. 

Post: BRRRR Into FHA or Conventional Low Down House Hack

Hello All!

Does anyone know if it is possible to BRRRR into a low down house hack? I was recently pre-approved to buy a house FHA or using a low down conventional loan and I am already looking for a flip in Houston. My strategy was to bring in a partner to fund a flip, essentially BRRRR that property and live in it/rent the other rooms to my roommates and Refinance into an FHA loan, use those funds to cash out my partner and have a little more equity to put into another deal.

If this strategy is possible, how much LTV would I be able to pull out with an FHA or low down conventional loan? Also, if you have any notes or tips with the strategy, please let me know!

Thank you all for your input!

Hey @Marcus Joseph Hope your investing has gone well, if you're still looking for an investor friendly agent, I'd be more than happy to offer my services; currently leasing out a triplex we recently closed on, but we're still looking for more clients, with Houstons ever-growing population the possibilities are truly endless

Thank you for reaching out and offering help! I'll shoot you over a message!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets! I like to invest in Harris County north of Beltway 8 and in Montgomery County. I am currently at the Bigger Pockets Conference 2022 in San Diego. I am looking forward to learning a lot this week. I would love to connect when I get back. 


 Thank you, Marci! I'm very familiar with that area and would love to hear how you got started in Houston. Enjoy your time at BP Con and I'm looking forward to connecting when you are back.

Hello all, my name is Marcus. I’m a new investor in the Houston area. Just figured I would post on here to connect with some fellow likeminded people. I have not done any deals yet but that is soon to change! Was hoping to make friends with some investor friendly agents, wholesalers, and investors. Feel free to contact me, I’d love to know how y’all got started and what life events brought you to where you are today!
