Any tips, tricks, or advice for buy and hold in Houston Texas is much appreciated.Thanks, The new guy

Currently, my kids are in bed and my husband is sick and lying down.  

Looking for tips on financing my next deal as conventional will most likely not cut it.

Looking for any leads/tips on finding REO in the city.

I am all about simplify life as you get older, especially if you have kids.

There are opportunities to house hack just outside of the city or in the Bronx, where you can still find affordable (relatively speaking) housing - jsut with a bit of an extra commute.Thanks for the tip on calling banks and credit unions - will do this.

- don't need to tell us, just a consideration for more space if someone is joining you and your daughter, or perhaps future kids.

Any tips, suggestions or just general feedback?  

You don’t want a realtor who’s primary client is the “home buyer” interested in a nice kitchen or great yard for the kids.

I am asking for tips on how to know who is interested and not just saying they are and how to convince them to put down a deposit and actually take the place?
