Hey guys.  

Very easy to get pulled into a bad property or an area you’re not comfortable with by listening to the wrong people.

Compared to other companies the experience is really bad .... 

Hey guys, I’m newer around the Conroe area and I’m looking to connect with fellow real estate individuals, Contractors, investors, etc.I’ve been an electrician for 10 years mostly in the commercial space, I’ve doubled in general contracting and project management in Utah, but have moved down here in search of better opportunities.

FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.

The issue I see is that market has historical appreciation below average (not bad, but slightly poor).  

Yes - and even when its out there its typically impossible to qualify (need high rate and high DSCR and typically would have to qualify as a LTR - so almost a unicorn or in a really bad market)

While @Phillip Austin mentioned Raleigh is a higher returns its just very much a appreciation market, you will not find rentals that cashflow, so depending on your goals its a good or bad market.

I wouldn’t want to buy a bad deal, regardless of the tax consequences.

Obviously this could happen anywhere but I know it can be particularly bad for landlords in certain places like mine.
