And I have had two potential opportunities "fall into my lap" that involve inherited properties that need major remodels to be able to compete in the MTR market. 

Good opportunity for others to move in.

Get involved means more than go to meetings - the Better Government/Lobbying groups within the association attract the money to their meetings/events/volunteer opportunities.

Hi River, Yea, I'd be happy to connect and chat it up about opportunities.

You have to get specific with these dates, give opportunities to correct, and take action the next day if nothing happens.

Use your skills to network with local investors and professionals by attending meetups in the Conroe and Houston area, joining online forums, and connecting with property managers or realtors.

I am a new investor looking for primarily multi-family properties with 2-4 units; would be willing to house hack as well depending on the opportunity. 

Congrats on finding this opportunity so early.

Quote from @Virginia Frost: I'm always looking for a good opportunity but honestly my next purchase will probably be something that I don't have to do a total overhaul on.

I also want to make sure w seller financing there is an online dashboard i can log in at escrow or title company to track the loan paydown and monthly payments like w any mortgage bank.. did not see that on forums.
