What I'm really becoming passionate about is fixing and flipping, rehabbing, wholesaling, and landlording.In the midst of getting acquainted with Bigger Pockets, I'm in the process of transitioning to the Houston, Tx area from the Dallas area, but wanting to develop relationships in both cities, while learning about both markets.Any, absolutely any advice, and tips are welcomed.

welcome to the site and houston is a great place to learn... big city with lots of people moving in .

I'm looking at Texas, more specifically Houston, as we have some friends and family connections there.Where's your property?

Does anyone have a great insurance contact for investment properties in Houston.

I don't know a whole lot about calculating cap rate and PITI yet but here is what I do know:ARV $105-$110KRepairs less than $2,500 non needed to rent outRental Comps $1250-$1350Asking $94KProperty located in a suburb of Houston Any creative ways of getting this property sold to the right buyer?

Located in Tomball, TX (suburb of Houston very close to Spring, TX - within reasonable driving distance of Exxon's brand new building)ARV $103kRent $1350/mo (Avg DOM 16)Needs $5k in repairs (miscellaneous cosmetic inside/out)All major systems in good or excellent working order.Includes laminate flooring for front and master bedroom.Roof replaced and re-decked in past 6 months.AC replaced in 2008 in/out.AC ductwork replaced same time as roof.All interior re-painted in past 6 months except master bedroom and bath.I've got it under contract but I'm not sure what I should be selling it for to a buy-and-hold investor.Lowest price home in neighborhood in MLS priced at $75k then a jump to $93k - both pending, then another at $100k and they go up from there.Any input greatly appreciated.

I know they had one in Houston, and (I think) Dallas earlier this year.

These are also just some of the laws I am familiar with after buying several mortgages in Houston area earlier this year.I suppose I will play the role of doom and gloom.

I heard that "wicked giggle" all the way over in Houston Brian Hoffman!
