We look to see the local market through our partner’s eyes and help them spot and rate opportunities and then we help them execute the best ones.We focus on real estate developers and GCs that have a track record of getting things built, but that are not so established that they have a large network of equity capital providers.

Anything under 20% is problematic.Wanting income you get a multifamily on the next.

Good points on weighing the trade-offs between smaller towns and larger metros.

The tools on Zillow and Redfin aren’t especially helpful since the house is off market, and they’re underestimating the number of bedrooms.

SCAM - move on.

Quote from @Brick Biermann: I don't have it any more, but I used to have a line of credit against some of my investments.

My initial thought is to invest this into the stock market (Amazon, Tesla, Google, etc...) and keep doing that for the next two distributions as well, ultimately pulling it all back out, plus the earnings (hopefully) in 3 years time to purchase a house.Based on the plethora of experience in these forums, does the above sound like a good plan? 

I’m in the process of searching for land in the Houston area to then build a 4-plex on it.The plan is to self-fund the purchase & construction, rent the units and cash out with a mortage.I like the idea of serving lower income families and therefore don’t shy away from section 8.This is the first time I do something like this, so I’m throwing it out there in hopes of hearing your thoughts and learning from your experience!

No reviews- can't find anything about it online. 

With your past experience and a clear goal of building a portfolio in Houston, you’re already well on your way.
