Also it's much tougher now to get enough discount on a short sale to flip it, as opposed to a few years ago when the banks were buried, and deals fell thru the cracks.

I'm really excited to be here and looking toward a great future in real estate.   2 two family homes fell in my lap back in 2004 and things were going relatively well until the collapse.  

Some of the neighborhoods were obvious and well known (Heights, Memorial, River Oaks), so I'm watching as up and comers (Lindale) and some I hadn't heard of before. http://www.houstoniamag.com/articles/houstons-top-...What do fell Houston investors think of the list? 

@Brian Gibbons  good stuff...I was just thinking of this today as I had a dinky little $5k deal that fell apart at the last minute due to the owner's wife moving into the house we were going to wholesale...they apparently have marital issues....then a package deal of 4 houses where the numbers just weren't quite there for us, but I knew other buyers would take it..I know it can be easy to be discouraged...I think Mohammad Ali said something about  "It's not the mountains in front of you to climb that stop you...but the pebbles in your shoes.."  

One owner fell and shattered her knee cap.

He's been to a few adoption events thus far, and we've put the APB out on social media, but so far, he's only gotten one foster application, and that one fell through. 

I told her about the 80-90% rule and she about fell over.

I am sure I can negotiate the price to match property similar to this one, but upon further research I found the property had been under contract and the deal fell through.

Refinancing fell through- Tried to refinance my first fourplex (that I bought all cash).
