But until then I'm trying to catch up to speed with books, pod cast and mentoring sessions to make sure that I have enough of an understanding to be successful in this venture.  

You sound realistic and this deal sounds good, just verify there are gotchas, leaky cast iron plumbing, cracked foundation, tenants to be evicted.

Hey Guys my name is Esteban, I'm new in all of real state I been listening the BP pop cast and the rookie pop cast as well, I'm really interested in start in this world of real state what are the books that you'll recommend for start, and also I live in the Houston area if there is anybody that can help me to get in all this I'll be happy to do my best on in, I know plumbing pretty well, also some HVAC knowledge.

The more nets you cast, the better your odds of landing deals.

Zillow is best but I advise casting a wider net. 

A quick google search will cast significant doubt on the structure you've been directed to pursue.Link to article

For example company A for foundation, B for casting, C for roofing then have my project manager schedule them accordingly for a bit.

I just got some advice which was to find some new ways to cast a wider net in order to get more motivated sellers.

Cold climate, budget for more snow removal, old cast iron pipes, old appliances, etc, expect more maintenance.
