I see plenty of future growth in these parts, and am eager to buy an old 2-flat or 3-flat (what the rest of the country calls a 2 or 3-plex).Everywhere I go in this neighborhood I see new condos springing up like concrete weeds, including several gargantuan buildings by the California train stop in an area that's mostly SFRs and small multis.My question is this: Is the influx of new construction a great sign for the rising prospects of the neighborhood or is it just creating competition for older buildings and rents?  

In my Realtor training we learned that Zillow is the least accurate website and is usually off around 40%.

I am already deep into the blogs, and beginner training.

I am about to go for my first wholesale deal next month as soon as I'm done with training, are there any wholesalers in Houston area that is willing to help me?

I'm now at a point where I can dedicate more time to my own pursuits and I have started off with taking the required VA RE licensing training and have recently passed the exam.
