I'm by no means an expert and am just speaking on my experience talking with a few banks, but that is the only thing I noticed may not always be true.

In all seriousness there are a lot of wholesalers not making any money at all after a year or two because they dont realize the general real estate knowledge thats needed as well knowledge of rentals and flips(those are your buyers) the overall hard work.

To my knowledge typical duplex rentals go in this area between 550-650 a month .

Does anyone know a knowledgeable mortgage loan operator in Houston?

3 - Who are the expert contractors in these areas?

If you are ready to drink from the firehose of real estate knowledge you found the right place.

First of all, I want to give a HUGE thanks to BP for creating this platform to facilitate discussion/knowledge exchange for real estate investment.

I’ve researched the no money down game a lot but I wanted some expert opinions on what I should have them do.

It CAN be higher paying than a W-2 job while also giving one the practical experience and knowledge necessary to invest full-time. 

They oftentimes are very familiar with different aspects of Realestate investing and offer valuable knowledge and information.
