Great place to meet other investors, agents, property managers, and contractors.

Here you are basically hitting it without needing to manage a property in another location.

@Melissa Sejour a good property manager will give you a lot of information that you care about.

I would be happy to connect you with a Investor Brokerage and Full Service property management with a local team in Houston.

It would cost me only $2300 per month which includes rent utilities furnishing and property management. she showed me one example only of a customer who profited greatly.

The clients we work with who have found success letting us help them find highest and best use of properties, then we manage them for a year, and then pull out 60-70% of their money, and do it again - rather than waiting several years for a home run hit. 

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

It's best to have a house manager.

I generally work with home owners looking for long term management, but I do work with a local broker with access to off-market deals, and he sees a lot of activity in the area.

I have managed to get myself into a bit of a complex situation on my first deal and I'm looking for some advice.
