I am a young professional currently working in the Houston Texas market in O&G. 

From maintenance issues, to dealing with professional tenants, to infighting amongst the group of friends, the issues we faced contributed to the fear and the stagnation.

Hi Matt, As long as you are pricing your property fairly, marketing on all the large sites, and have a detailed property description and professional looking photos that will catch renters eyes, you should have no problem getting leads. 

March through May/June are the peak months, however, so there will definitely be more competition, but hopefully that leads to more buyers as well.Hopefully you are using a realtor to sell so you're on HAR and all the aggregated websites, have professional photography, and are making it easy to show or set appointments.

Some lenders advertise 10%, but with all of their fixed fees and whatnot, at a lower price point (like $50k) it comes out looking like 20%.

I think staging AND professional pictures should make your listing more appealing. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Most apt owners are professionals.

I've purchased a row house and looking for a professional and experienced general contractor to handle my rehab.

When I first started out looking for deals for other investors and got into wholesaling, I had to try a few different methods.
