Quote from @Matt M.: Quote from @Joe Funari: @Tip Mallick Great first question.

Quote from @Matt Devincenzo: I'm not familiar with the case, and don't have rentals there, but there is a bit of poetic justice here...not that I agree with the overall result, but far too often I interact those who simply institute 'clauses' in a contract (Lease, PSA, Options etc) which are grossly one sided or as it seems in this case unlawful.

My name is Matt, I recently moved to Houston and would really like to get into the local investment scene. 

Quote from @Matt Miller: Hey @Hector Lewis,I have a DSCR but it also starts at a $75k minimum loan amount. typically I advise folks that are coming a little less to do a fix & flip, then DSCR cash out at $75k.

Instead, they miss the cloth or aluminum wiring and poor circuit allocation and instead show you with their fancy plug that "polarity is reversed"; or the always arbitrary "the roof likely only has 5 more years left max" because they see a 3-tab shingle from the ground and completely miss hail/wind damage on a newer architectural shingle citing its "lifetime warranty".That's a wise post, Matt.

Quote from @Matt Devincenzo: Quote from @Dulce Davis: I'm seriously considering squatting there myself if I am unsuccessful locating the owner.

Quote from @Matt Mertz: Just chiming in. 

@Alex HafnerTo pick up on how to invest in real estate, you might want to watch some YouTube channels like Meet Kevin, Graham Stephan, BiggerPockets, Matt McKeever, Coach Carson, Morris Invest, Investment Joy, and Joe McCall.

However, the returns should be greater for those looking to take on the risk.But your points are well-taken and I will look for ways to address how to protect the investors.Thanks,Matt
