I was wondering if anyone has any good tips on investing in the Houston area for the first time, any recommendations for a good realtor, tips on investing remotely, and even info/tips or past experiences on obtaining a loan with just an offer letter. 

@Alex Thanks for the info, appreciate the insight. 

If you need more info, or have any additional questions please let me know!

@Michael Heredia if you are asking for info for the application and background checks I’d suggest looking at Zillow or Cozy applications.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

I got my passion for real estate from him at a early age. 

Someone has done something similar to what I want to do - building new mixed into an existing neighborhood - with five homes all side-by-side that average over $100,000 more than the existing homes in that area.Some of my questions are:Is there reason to be concerned that existing homes in the neighborhood have low values because of their age and condition, keeping in mind I want to build 9 or 10 and raise the level of the neighborhood?

i form a registered llc based on info here on BP nut all my 3 blds are in my name. i dont  have any real money left or 25% for commercial.which loan best to get cash out refi from triplex?

Still a high percentage of owners who are getting up there in age, and cap rates for MHP are still several percentage points higher than other asset classes.

You can contact me and I'll pass their info on.
