I am a general contractor myself but live  north of Houston.

In gathering info for my monthly newsletter I came across this report by Rice University on future gentrification opportunities in Houston.

I'll add that when I represent a seller, I will vet the lender before accepting an offer.Many lenders (Quicken / Rocket mortgage are prime examples) will give out a "pre-approval" letter without having done anything more than run a credit report and asked the borrower a bunch of questions.Until the lender has reviewed bank statements, W2s, tax returns and pay stubs, that pre-approval isn't worth the paper it's printed on. 

Question: I’m here in Houston till the new year, but live in Los Angeles.

Purchase price: $68,500 Cash invested: $68,500 Was my residence until a job transfer to Houston.

You also have to know landord/tenant law, which is not a rocket science.

Greetings,I have a rental property in Houston that will be vacant next month.

Does anyone know a real estate agent in the Humble/ Houston TX area that will give me a good rate to put a rental property on the MLS.

It’s not rocket science.

I’ve considered Tucson Az, Houston Tx, and Cleveland Oh, because I have family in these areas but I’m defiantly open to other markets.
