I need to establish a good $$$ source, hard money looks like a good angle.

There is still a lot to learn, but there's no time like the present.I'm going to start with wholesaling.

I used to work for Chase and don't recommend it for businesses because building a business requires establishing relationships, and where better else then a local bank or smaller bank.

My RE association recently hosted Robyn Thompson for the weekend to tell us everything she knew about house flipping (well, Nearly Everything) One thing she shared was the "Horsey Letter" It's printed with a watermark of two horses and a corral in the background, to help establish her legitimacy in the area (she lives and works big horse areas in Florida.)

Think about it, if you were an established borrower and your lender began referring deals from other borrowers to you, how would you feel about bringing him or her more business?

Now, I'm beginning to pursue other properties and want to establish LLCs to hold everything.

When I try to go to a website, and I see that a company only has a Facebook page, I'm a little suspicious that they're not an established company that I can trust.

Think discovery green/buffalo bayou quality.Most of the property in the areas as of late seem to be new townhomes/condos/apartments in EaDo and some newer townhomes/condos along 59/288 & Elgin.As far as rent goes, I know UH has invested quite a lot to get students to live on campus.

thank you for all nice comments, it certainly means a lot to me and I am very glad that this post could add some encouragement to your REI path.
