@Alex Short Putting security deposits in a separate account is done because those are technically financial liabilities, in that you're responsible for holding onto those funds and not touching them until they're either returned or used, be that partially or fully.

I'm guessing that we'll touch on it briefly during the September 11th meetup as people introduce themselves and share how and where they're looking to invest, but no formal program is planned for this meetup.We'll also be discussing topics for future meetings/meetups and if there's interest, we'll make it a focus of a future gathering.

I am currently holding long term in this market.My personal investment philosophy has me buying outside the two loops (I-610 and Beltway 8) around the perimeter of Houston.I stay away from inner city property (older and higher touch management from my experience) but many people I know make money there.I look for mid-late 70's 3/2/2 and 4/2/2 that rent for a minimum of $1000 a month.

Stay in touch!

Yeah I didn't see the electric and gas part in the post (really long day).I am sure there is a waiting list for all paid utilities below market rents.I wouldn't touch this one with the landlord paying all of those things.

The P's with windows is a nice touch.

No bank or private lender could touch it.

I will be in touch with you to make a stronger case. 

Feel free to get back in touch if you have any questions!
