Hi,I am looking to purchase a property in Houston and also one in Detroit. 

Also as rents sky rocketed in those posh areas such as downtown Seattle, people adjusted and probably rented further away.

In Houston we are experiencing a HOT market for buyers since there is so much inventory.

owners relative called me and asked what would theyhave to re-pay me to re-claim their house (have not heard from owner)....right of redemption is 6mos in Houston tx...should I respond to therelative or just wait 4 weeks (when county sends me the deed) n have them go thru the court system to redeem?

Your credit will sky rocket once you start paying a mortgage anyways.

If you become an expert in a certain area of Texas and know everything about it your chances or making a great invest sky rocket. 

Two in Houston 4 in the Dayton ohio area.  

We haven't done much direct mailing recently in San Antonio but in the past we did and one thing the I always remember from the phone calls that is totally different from the Houston market is that in SA a lot of people told us either: "I would sell my house if I had somewhere to go" and we also got a lot of "I'm going to die here in my house and none of my neighbors will sell 'cause they feel the same way.

Where to look for a broker to hang new investor agent in Houston?

I am located in Dallas, TX and currently looking around Dallas to Houston area.
