Good point above on 84, they have great prices on lumber- most pro framers use them.When calling supply houses always ask for framers who pay their bills on time.

Hi Matthew, I host a Houston Real Estate Investor meetup on the last Wednesday of every month.

But "it didn't redeem and he got tired of paying the tax bill and cutting the grass so he let it go". 

Greg, if you have the time and ability to do this yourself you will put a lot more money in your pocket each month.  

We have monthly meetups. 

So far, I acquired 4 properties and hold 1 for rentals made 150k equity and $400 per month cashflow with 7.25 interest rate.

My advice on investing back in the states is definitely make sure you have someone back there you fully trust (preferably with a stake in the properties success) before you do.The Tokyo Brewdog monthly meetup can be a good place to get some details on what's out there but be wary of everything you are told as Ivery found a lot of info I was getting wasn't entirely complete and found myself discussing more in some other circles with friends and colleagues these days.Happy to talk specifics sometime of you have questions. 

I will give you the numbers then tell you mu strategy idea. house purchased for 415,000 in august of 2020 at a sub 4% rate but I treat it as 4% because I am not 100% sure what the rate is (I am getting into contact with realtor soon don't worry)The house could rent for 2,500 per month at minimum and I think I could get 2600-2900 but not 100% sure.It is now on the market for 600, 000 but I think I could get it to 575 since it has been up for a couple months.well 575,000 at a 7% APR is way higher than the rent so I was thinking I could do a seller financed route.

I am in Mexico city now for 3 months as we relocated from houston.

It took off months later with many of the new buyers in the market consisting of NYC residents looking to get away from such a huge metropolitan area and into a NJ suburb in time for the next catastrophic event.
