Good Evening BP Members, I am trying to help out a home owner in a stressful situation and was wondering if there was any advice/thoughts on a buy and hold investor in the Houston area for this situation: Owner has a squatter in the home who refuses to leave.

i would concentrate on the first property that's almost ready and get it done and rented so you have some income coming in. as long as you can afford to keep the other one then hold it.

I want to learn as much as I can while making a bit of money along the way initially, but long term goals are to build wealth through buy and holds.  

For the first my aim has been to wholesale it to get the experience that way and then learn the property way to add value and reposition when I am to buy and hold - which is the long term goal.

Hey Erik,  It was a no money down, lease to own, have renters, hold on to the property type of course.  

Anyone in this market that has a multi unit available, we are actively looking to buy and hold. 

Flipping can certainly be done part-time, but it won't maximize your returns with holding costs.  

I'm looking to acquire and hold long-term SFR properties yet I'm open to any of the other elements of REI business.

My banks require 6 months hold time before you can "cash out". 

Yeah we are our area comes with high competition, I am looking to do flips but also buy and holds interest me , where do you find most of the deals you are looking at ?
