Louis]Single-family home building permits serve as a leading indicator of future housing supply trends.

The problem: Yes they will buy, but they will also sell, so it becomes a wash in terms of supply and demand. 

Do you mainly rely on driving for dollars, online platforms, or networking with other investors? 

@Jermaine JohnsonTo succeed in the Houston market, network with professionals like real estate agents, contractors, and property managers, leverage local investor groups, understand the market by researching neighborhood trends, supply and demand, and zoning regulations, use market data and tools, and start with a focused strategy based on your goals.

Without knowing the condition of the property, that is the main thing.

This is because so much new multi family supply has come online.

I didn't think it was going to be that good, I made the  main house a LTR and the back house a STR.

The purchase prices were 170k and 180k respectively and the budgets were 90k and 100k respectively and they could've gotten a better rate with a credit union, but a credit union will not supply the rehab funds - HML does.  3) The application would be taken in, project numbers would be held up to lender guidelines according to your exp and your credit. 

Lastly Jim I am surprised it took you this long :)  AS you know one of the main rules on BP is operators / sponsor etc are suppose to divulge that they are in business and not pretend they are something else and they do it by Omission .  

I have finally got them in my hands ( straight from the state of Maines website) and now realize I have no idea really what I am looking at!
