Hi BP,

I am looking to make some connections with Houston Note Buyers and how to uncover deals locally.

Andre McCullough Take it for what it is worth but, since I invest in notes, I use a number of key point indicators to determine if an area will be sustainable, then if the numbers make since, I pull the trigger. Hopefully this helps you in some kind of way. I'm from Houston as well.

@Account Closed

A mentor and mentee relationship is based on trust. I trust they know what they are talking about because they have "fruit on the tree". My mentor stay on the other side of US and I live in Houston. The key is he has a business model and knowledge I desire, additionally he is successful at what he does. 

A couple of things I do to be a a good mentee:

  • I'm on time when we meet via the internet or in person
  • I do the actionable items we discuss
  • I do my own research and present questions
  • I do not waste their time
  • I remain respectful
  • I take their advice by faith

I could go on and on, but it is great you have found a mentor, bottom line be respectful of their time and do what they say by faith and you be off to great start of building trust

Hi Dina, 

I just have a few questions, maybe I can toss out a few ideas. Why is she having a hard time renting it? What happened to the previous tenants? Does the seller own the house?
