Anyone in here wholesale in Houston and live in the area? I am trying to get started and would like to meet others, get advice. I have not gone to a RICH meeting and I am not really a fan of their $20 fee to be a GUEST at their meetings.

Search on the internet. Look at the directory of real estate.

I'm interested as well. I've been speaking with a professional in the houston real estate market but would like to hear more.

Call this guy.  I'm moving to houston in 2 weeks and I am going to meet him when I get there.  I spoke to him briefly over the phone a while back.  He wholesales a whole lot of properties in the houston and Fort Bend areas.

I am in Houston.  I still haven't successfully done a deal.  But, would be interested in getting to know folks from around here.

I agree the RICH club is a bit pricey, but I think it's pretty much standard.  You can join and not have to pay that fee, the membership is about $185 or so...plus, you get access to other stuff non-members don't have access to.  I need to join, just haven't had a Saturday free to go at this point.

You aren't willing to pay $20 to advance your business or learn something about your business?

I'm going to guess that the $20 is to keep out the lookie loos and time wasters who think they are going to come in and have someone else make a lot of money for them while they themselves expend no effort at all. Believe me, there are a lot of people like that out there. But that type won't spend $20 to learn something, so an entry charge is a good way to keep them out.

Just like me, charging an application fee for my rentals. It weeds out a lot of the people who can't qualify right off the bat.

I am guessing that's what the fee is for Tator.  It's not excessive...I am also guessing it's to promote people signing up as members, as well.  The meetings are free to those that spend the $180 or whatever.  I thinking the renewal fee is like half of the original fee.  So, you get in the meetings for free and like I said, there are a ton of other meetings/seminars/classes you gain access to by becoming a memeber.

When I get a chance to go for the first time, I am going to sign up.  It's just getting the time to get over there.  Which, is my excuse (poor or not) at this point for not finding a deal.  Just don't have much extra time at this point...

I would agree with tatertot. I use the same tactic within my design firm. Keeps all the tire kickers away.

Hi I am a realtor/investor here in Houston.  I used to wholesale properties but now I am focusing on buying and selling short sales. 

I might be able to help with information about the houston market.
