We just closed on a project so if you have something ready ship it over.

I have contacts in my investing group who are connected to manufacturers of modular homes - not "manufactured" (trailers), modular: homes are stick-built in pieces in a factory, the pieces are shipped to the home site on flat bed trucks and assembled onto the foundation.

Always good to have friends and networking capabilities. 

Ken McElroy has some good books on multi-unit investing which it sounds like you are capable of doing with the funds you have available.  

save your money... do not borrow at your age until you are fully capable of repaying and you have significant reserves... this is where I see a lot of investors get in trouble.. they don' understand that you need reserves when you own rentals.. the more you own the amount goes down.. but you could go broke quick being undercapitalized to start. 

Though you have much more experience than I do, I'm also on the same ship as you in currently owning buy-and-holds and looking to purchase the first apartment complex with creative financing.Out of curiosity, in what areas are you looking towards?

I'll see if there are any contractors in this market that are capable of it.I've attached some pics for fun!

Where I live we buy cars we have never seen and have them shipped in.  

If you were capable of raising a total of $2.6 million in capital, why not purchase a high cash flowing property somewhere else in the United States for $2 million, with an ARV value of $4 million, and spend $600,000 on improvements.

Houston's main industry is oil and Gas, shipping,.
