I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself.

I used to think that cold calling was the only way to get off-market deals.

No one has a "crystal ball" to time the market perfectly. 

I have been very successful in helping clients acquire Airbnb homes and creating themes and uniqueness for their homes to be more appealing and marketable.

To find value on residential 1-4 unit properties you could ask your realtor to run comps or complete a CMA(Comparative Market Analysis) on a subject property once you find it.or you can find the value on your own.We use prop stream to run comps. 

I wanted to create generational wealth, have a hedge against inflation with my $ and diversify my wealth, vs being 100% in the stock market.

I've heard great things about the Columbus market.

Study the market.

@Linda PhamAll our midterm rentals are in Colorado as are our clients, so I don't know Houston's market.

Until the lease ends and then the legal notice time in your market has passed.
