@Tony H TruongYou can skiptrace the owners, great thread:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/80/topics/659...Those bounced addresses are very valuable Tony.

Cash flow is not a priority for us; long-term appreciation is.Just bouncing around ideas, neighborhoods, etc. 

The upside would have to be significant for me to take on this kind of risk and spend that kind of capital, especially if the house becomes unlivable and has to sit empty during construction time.Really appreciate everyone's feedback, it's been so helpful to have folks familiar with REI to bounce ideas off.

Feel free to bounce ideas off me if you'd like. 

Happy to connect more to bounce ideas and potentially work together in the future.

That could be a costly game to play, I know, because it personally cost me $2,000,000…once in the 80’s and once again in the 90’s.I have bounced back from that experience 10 times and am far stronger and smarter because of it.As an Investor, homeowner, first time investor or company owner, how can we win and get the highest level of return possible?

I joined bigger pockets for the vast amount of information, and I'm also looking to connect with someone I can bounce my plan off of and get honest feedback.Where would be the best forum to post, in regards to discussing financing options I already have and which ones to choose, attack plans, and basic entry into the real estate market?  

You want to use postcards first since they are cheaper and some may bounce so you can remove the bad ones off your list and skip-trace those so you do not waste money mailing to bad addresses.

Houston will bounce back.

I don't have anybody immediately around me to bounce ideas off of in this category.
