@Erick HenningsHouston's emerging neighborhoods include East End, Third Ward, Heights, Spring Branch, Independence Heights, Alief, Cypress, Pearland, Richmond/Rosenberg, and Conroe/Woodlands.

I would love to meet some new members, young or no, whose goals might include a solid cash flow and providing good value to renters who are exploited or poorly treated by unresponsive landlords or large corporate operations.  

Now private lenders are my main purchase method, along with seller financing and BRRRR.

Only 1 was found through the MLS, but more recently that has become my main option.

This is actually one of the main reasons many agents and investors may not like them generally speaking (they are often not serious professionals with a proven track record of success, the vast majority are struggling to find their first deal and are time-wasters to interact with).   

You're essentially buying into a partnership with your friend with the partnership owning and operating the property.Now, the financial side of that gets more complicated and would generally include an advanced proforma/financial model that includes a GP/LP equity waterfall schedule that is based on how you and your friend agree that you will pay her and also share the profits.I assume that won't make sense to you right now, but I'll send you a DM.

I just bought a Lake House in Maine this past summer.

This does also include my live revenue manager, which accounts for about $20,000 - so without her about $60k for pure software integrations.

We have also completed some exciting improvements including retyring a boiler for heat/cool ductless mini-splits and 9 units being electrically updates.

Strategic $12,000 renovations included minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, enhancing the property’s appeal to potential buyers.
