Welcome to the sit @Deborah Ayala I wish you the best of luck in your venture!

I know its an open post, but anyone willing to sit down with us we would really appreciate.thanks, Jonathan

The United States has more attorneys per capita than any other country in the world, and many of them sit by the phone, eagerly awaiting a call from a client without the money to pay their fee (thereby allowing the charging of 50% plus contingent fees), who have slipped and fell in a rental property, or a host of other things that might mean that Mr.

As someone who is just starting out I agree with you that there are no "deals" with high return just sitting waiting to be scooped up.

Developing is not an easy task, maybe you need to shadow your old friend and have him sit on the sidelines.

Perhaps is sits on an area that was an old local drainage and the ground is slightly more pervious allowing the local ground water to collect and move down gradiant until it hits this house's basement.One thing that puzzles me is the why the existing sump pump is not dealing with the issue.

It's not currently one of my strengths, would love to chat it over if you'd like to sit down sometime.

It was strange to see large developments left half done.What I see in Houston is a super hot market that has the true investors sitting on the sidelines.I still don't know if Houston market is turning soft, but people are doing some crazy things.I would be very interested to see if anyone (investor, newbie, or agent) that does not believe Houston is in a bubble.

Using those numbers, factoring in tax of ~3000/year, insurance of 600 (will probably be higher), maintenance 10%, PM 10%, vacancy 10%, I'm sitting at about 500/month.

I know how it feels to have cash sitting and not making money with your money.
