I am new to the real estate investing and I am having a hard time with hard money lenders to lend money. 

A friend recently asked me to compare two Houston zip codes, 77008 and 77063, from an investment perspective.Now, I'm a big fan of Texas, but the first thing I said to him was that the weather is HORRENDOUS.

What factors do you think I should consider to determine if it makes sense?

Hi,I’m looking to invest for the first time in the US (Philly) as a real estate investor.

I own an investment property in Tampa (at least I hope I still do after Milton goes through but we are not in a flood zone).I was wondering where home prices go on functional homes following a large natural disaster like a flood, fire or hurricane.I was thinking prices would go up shortly after the disaster since many other homes were damaged or destroyed, therefore supply is low and demand is high.The reason I ask is because I have a refi coming up following a fix & hold purchase.

If you'd like, I can introduce you to some of these folks—they've helped several of my clients in the Fort Worth area overcome similar hurdles.And hey, if your ever considering expanding your investments into markets like Austin or Scottsdale, I've got some insights and connections that might be useful.

I highly, highly, highly suggest developing a relationship with a really good local agent that understands real estate investing.

A substantial portion of my real estate transactions 'work' because the borrower was paired with a lender offering unique qualification or feasible terms that meet or exceed the investors original ROI, COC, down payment or general investment goals. 

Are you new to investing or do you have a few years under your belt?

Whether it’s investing, sales, or something else, I’d love to hear more!
