For Houston, we have seen better returns with direct mail, which we have tested for several years. 

If I put another $15k in and refi the loan at 20% down I can get my VA loan back, probably lower my 3.875% rate and get a positive cash flow per month (maybe $100-150) at the expense of restarting a 30 year mortgage.. or just cut ties with my single family home in NC, look to do a 1031 exchange and invest in something more local to the Houston, Tx area where I will be moving. 

I'm moving south of Houston to Clute, Tx and have a single family home I lived in while stationed in Cherry Point, NC that I'm currently renting out.

Also are there any real estate agents willing to work with a wholesaler from Houston, TX?
