This helps me maintain a healthy cash flow and minimizes risks.The Quest for a Lender:As a prospective real estate investor, finding the right lender is crucial.

We don't know how many sectors are going to be hit hard (hospitals are laying healthcare workers off) and if you are relying on another job's income to cover your issues (like when the place doesn't have a tenant, when you underestimate costs, when someone trashes your place, you have a large dollar repair that is needed, you have to hire an attorney for an eviction or a lawsuit) instead of a healthy amount of cash or liquid assets; that could really rock your finances when a lay-off happens at the same time an expected one-time hit comes (those things above happen - and never at a good time).I wouldn't take on debt for additional real estate investment unless you had at least 6 months of your monthly expenses (all those debt payments) in the bank and don't touch it. 

I heard that the cities near Houston have high flooding and hurricane risks and houses tend to settle due to their soil - though I really don't know enough about TX in general.

In addition to a simple zoning, there are things like IPES Scores, Coverage %, compact soil presence, stream zoning.So, my questions is what information I need to gather before I make an offer and what contingencies do I need to think about. thanks.Lenny
