@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

Should I find a local agent or use a lawer?

Sometimes cities will allow this, but it depends on local zoning rules.If neither option works, it might be worth consulting a real estate attorney to explore your options.

Anything smaller may not attract larger investors or offer the economies of scale needed for profitability.Design Style: BTR developments often consist of attached townhomes, usually with features like garages and a more upscale design to appeal to renters looking for something between an apartment and a single-family home.Location Factors: The success of your development depends heavily on location.

I’ve spent time assessing areas locally and identified Richmond, Pearland, Conroe, Montgomery and Katy as prospective areas to invest in.

It’s great that you’re looking to connect with local investors—it’s always helpful to learn from others’ experiences as you get started.As someone new to investing, one thing to consider is not limiting yourself to your immediate area.

I’d love to connect with local investors and agents and, further down the line, with contractors when we’re ready to take the next steps.Looking forward to connecting and learning from everyone here!

I found this deal as an off-market property through my local network in the Hamptons.

Are there any local meet ups or websites on where to find more people who have a moderate level of experience meaning they are  somewhat experienced but still looking to collaborate and network with more inexperienced investors like myself.

(Hint - go on VRBO and see what your local competition is charging). 2) How much do you intend to put down?
