and dont be discouraged, this sounds like alot of work, it is but its takes as long as watching a football game to do the research and lots of networking. find a strong circle of influence. i would attend the tax sales and chat up the folks buying, they can be pretty chatty. 11. remember its a numbers game, not everyone makes $74,126.00 in there first deal like most bigger pockets podcasts soundoff about. chickensoup for the soul was rejected 147 times before it became a number 1 best seller selling millions of copies all over the world. all this means is be persistent and keep trying, keep falling forward and always get back up and try again.  12. look up Seth Williams, and the landgeek they have websites and podcasts, with more info on buying land. once you buy your first tax sale come back and post it as a sucess story and next steps! 

Imagine if a football coach didn’t think ahead and set a game plan?

Anyone who tells you the contrary is feeding you a fantasy.   

They feel that for the rest of their landlording career each tenant will clean the house for the next tenant, but that philosophy is only a fantasy.

But I agree, expecting the Bank to agree to a lowball offer before foreclosure is a bit of a fantasy...

Meaning the BP calculators cannot predict the impact of a factory closing, a school being sued for $35 million from a football injury, a huge tax break for small business or a proposed highway exit ramp.It is investing and your numbers will be different from mine for the same house (I have a cheap roof guy or I can get all electrical for cost.... you own a lawn company and can do the landscaping for pennies on the dollar).

From just looking at google maps, it looks like it a just a couple blocks west of the high school football field.

YOU have to maintain and keep the property in good repair - Section 8 will do an annual inspection to make sure that you are doing so, and they won't be making the repairs.Sorry for the reality check, but you have to check the fantasy-land projections at the door before entering the BP forums ...

The least expensive homes are starting at $1400/mo. and go all the way to $3200/mo.With the athletic programs for baseball and football doing so well in Pearland there are a lot of people looking to relocate to this school district.
