I’m looking to connect with investors to funnel leads to. I follow up with expired listings daily that would likely sell through creative financing (subject to) and need buyers to bring to them. If you are looking to invest in the greater Houston area, please do reach out. 

         I wanted to share to the community how appreciative I am to have a platform that supports drive and ambition to total strangers when it comes to obtaining their real estate goals. Approximately one month and 25 days ago I decided to obtain my real estate license and practice real estate in Houston. Well, I achieved that goal in under 2 months and have every bit of motivation and drive to succeed in my first year. I have found my Y, so to speak, and will continue to strive to be the best in my field. I owe a lot of my motivation and drive to this community and the podcast and hope that in the future I can mentor those who will seek guidance like I have and still do. 

Thank you to everyone, I hope you all can achieve your goals as well as financial freedom ! 

 Thank you! Appreciate the advice, is there anything i should know about becoming apart of a team? What value does a new agent bring to a team, and what should I do in order to bring the most value to the team? Thanks!

Absolutely, thanks for reaching out. How long have you been an agent in the Houston area? 

 I actually live around an hour away from where I work. But I would be operating out of the Houston area!

 Hi everyone, I am considering getting my real estate license in Texas and am wanting to get more involved in the market. The only hiccup I have found from talking to other agents and investors is that as a full time firefighter, it may be difficult or improbable that I could be a successful agent being gone for 24 hours at a time. Any suggestions?

 The mortgage will be a conventional loan at 5%. And I haven’t thought about pulling cash out or refinancing my original property. I will keep that in mind. Thank you.

 The property will cash flow, based off the comps in the area. My main motivation behind new builds in a desirable area is for the growth in appreciation. Thank you for the input.

I currently own and rent a property I purchased 3 years ago on a USDA loan in the Mont Belviue area(just east of Houston), and cash flow 475 a month and am currently in the process of purchasing my second home in the Montgomery area(north of Houston) that is a new construction home. My plan is to live in this home for a year and repeat this process, but I am a bit outside of my financial comfort zone by pushing my DTI this way to build my portfolio. The vacancy factor for my property in mont belviue is covered by the rent but still makes me uneasy about purchasing a second home with the potential of maybe having to cover two mortgages and tapping out my reserve funds I have for the property (roughly 3 months rent). I'm not sure if this is a normal thought process and comes with the territory or if I will be making a big mistake. Thank you!
