We have a decent amount of capital and a few HELOCs available to be aggressive on offers however, we keep getting beat out by all-cash offers where we are just out of reach.With that being said, we discussed exploring the option of hard money or private lending as all of our other properties we have used our own capital and conventional loans. 

No need to give them all your data. 

I'd like the first property to be local (within 60 miles of Houston MSA) to get my feet wet before exploring Texas as a whole and beyond.  

So ask your questions, get your data and do your research.

This will allow you export the data so you can run a comparison analysis all in excel.

Hi @Sarah, The best resource I've found is Zillow data. https://www.zillow.com/researc... 

It's worth at least reaching out to him to explore your options.

I've tried to gather data via a tool called Mashvisor but the platform seems buggy and I'm not sure if I can trust that data.Aside from manually scrapping info on Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.

You get fascinated by a topic and decide you want to spend a considerable amount of time exploring it.2.

I am interested in exploring investments in self storage units or mobile home parks.
