I know this post is old but wondering if you found success.

With a passion for finding undervalued properties and transforming them into profitable assets, they are eager to learn, grow, and build a successful real estate portfolio.

Correct, it’s a long process with no guarantee of success.

@Elin Trinh I think right bow new constructions def has its benefits, but your key to success will be your team in Houston.

Nobody does.I sill tell you this, the reason why others that are successful might be doing 10,000 calls isn't because they are focusing on the number of calls. 

@Blake Kirby I just finished the first half of a successful 1031 exchange for BP clients from California...the second fourplex closes early next week.

Are you having more success sourcing off-market properties, or do you focus on distressed opportunities through agents or wholesalers?

As a first time and out of state investor, my top priorities for this first investment were (1) a property that would be quick to rent (as I didn’t have other properties to offset extended vacancy rates), and (2) a very strong local PM team that RTR had extensive success with.

I hope you've been successful!
