Houston's diverse, and the real estate market is buzzing.Check your budget, how much risk you can handle, and what you want from the investment.Montrose, The Heights, Eado, and Museum District are buzzin' with mid-term rental potential.Research the neighborhoods, check the rates, and do the math on costs before diving in.

Good afternoon, I am new to real estate and investing.  

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

My goal on this platform is to expand my network and develop relationships with brokers, owners/operators, investors, and others who are looking to learn more about multifamily real estate!

Are they just rubber-stamping or do they have real criteria?

Before you think about investment real estate regardless of being a VET or 100% VA disability you still must consider and evaluate your RICE!

You can make real estate work in any market - I would consider investing in a market that you know.

At the end of the day, losing $10k is really not a lot in the grand scheme of real estate investing, and given the seeming high volatility of this market ($275k to $220k, presumably in a matter of months), and the generally high monthly cost of HML, I would get out quickly and think of the loss as the cost of education.At least in my area (Cincinnati, OH) I don't see the market dramatically improving even as we get into the spring buying season, and, honestly, I only see mortgage rates continuing to climb for the foreseeable future, taking more and more buyers out of the market.

hey guys I am new to real estate and I just got my first rental property this past year and have tenants and things are finally stable now.

I still find this hard to believe. 95% of would be real estate investors never buy a single house.
