Hi, I am a property manager and own a few rentals in Houston. Sunnyside/Brookhaven is a rough part of town. That being said, there are investors that like areas like that. It all depends on you. The area is located close the the Medical Center and Stadium. It has quick access to downtown and a few Universities. The houses north of Belfort in Brookhaven tend to be nicer. As with any low income area tenant screening is the key to success. I do not think you will have a shortage of people looking to rent in the area. If you head west on Belfort Street for about 5 minutes you will be in one of the roughest parts of town. 

Negotiate , always negotiate.

What days and times are the meet ups? I am interested in attending.

I’ve had renters state that they don’t have bank accounts or credit cards and thus can only pay cash. In the end they all ended up paying online. You just have to stipulate that it’s part of the lease agreement. I found the last two that wanted to pay cash were actually paying some of their bills online with smart phones. I don’t understand why they resisted online pay!

There are plenty of online pay rent options for landlords that are cheap. They could mail you a money order or place it in a drop box. I never take cash. They can also ACH into your account, just have your banker help you set it up. Some banks offer deposit only debit cards.

Seems a bit odd. I would do more research before entering into a deal you can’t back out off.

CoZy !

I would look into first time home buyers programs.

I am a flight paramedic. I only work two days a week. Plenty of time for real estate!

I will try to attend next months
