Any recommendations on Houston REI groups that meet in person or virtually?

Happy to chat with you

Make sure your personality matches your path.  

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

. =) It's literally the most transparent and traceable transaction medium mankind has ever seen lolThe transaction can be traced, but not the person.

What I was getting at is that even investing "out of state", let alone out of the country, is more difficult when you don't have any personal connections and even more difficult with your first property.

Be prepared to follow up multiple times, using different forms of communication—calls, emails, and if possible, in-person visits to their office.

It also gives you multiple work surfaces so you can have more than one person in the kitchen without getting in each others' way.

Real estate prospecting is a numbers game, so the key is to keep reaching out, tracking your progress, and refining your process along the way.Let me know if you’d like to brainstorm more ideas or chat about prospecting strategies!

My goal is to wholesale some properties single and multifamily to build some capital while fixing my personal credit and building my business credit.
