Houston's market is growing rapidly, making it an ideal investment destination.

If you build (via managing a general contractor), you should (ideally) know more about how the property was built than if you bought an existing home--you know what's behind the walls, and ideally you might avoid anything wrong with buying an existing home with issues you and your inspector didn't catch.I understand there's risk to building--it just seems right now that the risk is lower than buying an existing house--a house where you simply cannot know every detail without tearing it down to the studs and doing a complete remodel.

Buy 🏡The first step is to find an undervalued or distressed property, ideally one that needs some work but has potential.

Who is your ideal guest?

This may not be the most ideal answer but for ridiculous things the police departments in my area will inform the tenants not to bother them and it usually ends the situation.

Ideally, closer to the main strip such as some restaurants on Commonwealth or especially on Mount Vernon.We are doing the mid-term rental route on Airbnb.

The rental income ideally should cover your expenses, such as the mortgage, taxes, and maintenance, while also leaving you with positive cash flow.Refinance: After the property is stabilized and generating income, you refinance it with a traditional mortgage.

A 30-year fixed rate offers peace of mind knowing your payments won’t change over time.The longer you hold the property, the more value you'll gain from the lower interest rate, so it’s ideal for a buy-and-hold strategy.3.

I just received a quote from my AC company, these are the two options we received:Option #1: For a 2-stage Rheem heat pump system the total price will be $8,340.00.Option #2: For a single stage Tempstar heat pump system the total price will be $7,280.00.The property is a long-term buy and hold, so we plan on owning for the next 30+ years ideally.
