I am new to Houston within the past 8 months and i have done research into some news sources to start learning about the area. I have not investigated all the news sources available but i primarly read and follow the Houston Business Journal. I have found it is pretty good to learn about developments, resturaunts, and other things that are either going to be built or are closing down. I'd love to hear what sources people use for news in the area and why you use/what you get from that source? (doesnt have to be a standard new source)

This sounds great! I'd love to help get this going.

Star,

The key is to look at your credit report and see specifically what factors are bringing you down. Credit karma provides a free credit score, there are many other sources that can provide it with a detailed breakdown on what is affecting your score. I would start there.

Jared,

You mentioned that an application fee and not doing an appraisal are some red flags when looking at HMLs. Are there any other questions you would suggest asking a HML upfront?

I am new to real estate investing. I enjoy finding out all of the information I can about a property, but i have not been able to easily find property records/deeds online for East Baton Rouge. It seems there might be a way on http://www.ebrclerkofcourt.org/ but the website is not very clear and there seems to be a paywall. Is there a way to access property records online? If not, where can i go to view these records?

@Mitchell Fuselier Check out Elifin Realty. It's a local commercial real estate company that can help with your multifamily search.

@Tamara Alston

I went by the address listed on google for Alpha Realty. There is no Alpha Realty in the building. I asked the current occupants of 11918 Bricksome Ave Suite # E if they knew anything about Alpha Realty and they said they didn't know anything about them and had moved into the space around a year ago. The realtor I talked to advised going to the Louisiana Real Estate Commission. Please let me know if you need anything else via personal message I'm happy to help.

Hi @Tamara Alston,

I live and work in Baton Rouge. My office is about 5 minutes from Alpha Realty location on Bricksome Ave. I'd be happy to go ride by and scope out the situation for you. If it is still open, I'll even go in and inquire about there services to see what's going on inside. I'll get back to you later this afternoon.
