Do you mind sharing your Houston contact? 

very high risk even I only do them with very specific investors in mind and a plan. we dont flip land we develop every one. 

Turnover costs can be frustrating, but they’re worth it for the peace of mind that comes with having quality tenants—tenants who pay on time and don’t bring the daily stress of dealing with bad renters.If you keep these tenants, they’ll likely cause more damage, knowing they can get away with it.

Hi @Adam AeroIt's good to have goals in mind.

This works with any type of appreciating property such as real estate, stocks, etcDepending on the appreciation rate, you can potentially see asset values double every 7-14 years.Likely around 7 years if the appreciation rate is 8%Likely around 14 years if the appreciation rate is 4%If you buy something for $100,000 and it appreciates to $200,000, you can potentially take a loan on the $100,000 appreciation which would not be considered a taxable event.However, be mindful that you are paying interest on the loan and you have to payback the loan but yes, it would not add on to your taxable income.

I look forward to connecting with like minded individuals and expanding my network within the real estate community!

We are coming down to get a feel for some neighborhoods we've been looking at moving too and don't really have too much planned so I thought it would be a great time to connect with some lenders, investors, contractors, and liked mind individuals while I'm there!

Multi family properties on the other hand tend to be more lucrative with numbers, especially if you are open minded to different strategies.   

Keep in mind this is a self-directed account and most are not.  

although keep in mind this narrows the field of buyers quite a bit..
