I used Barbara Grogg at Home Point Financial for my last purchase.

I have no problems stating that they know their business, understand the market and in many cases, for certain areas, literally know building-by-building who owns it, when it last traded, the condition of the property, the tenant base, etc, etc.

Last but not least, never trust zillow.

Aside from my one rental I have not been involved in real estate for the last several years so I am looking to connect with like minded people.

@John Vo, I am not sure about Vacancy in Houston market... i just posted one rental and got 10 inquiry in last 2 days. 

The last piece to complete the look is an awesome contemporary light fixture in the stairwell.

Thank you all for welcoming me, I look forward to listening to the pod cast to get more educated on what's new, what's old and what's works today, I know a lot has changed in the last 4-5 years, with the housing market, even in a good market for homebuyers, I need to be more sharp on what applications and techniques work, I also have a question is it better to be a realtor in the investing segment of real estate?

Listen to the last BP Podcast 192.

Hence I was able to get over 50 votes for my last 80 posts. 

I have two rentals in the area and I have been with www.overall-realty.com (Richard Overall) for the last 2+ yrs.
