When I first entered the Houston property market, I believed that the standardized forms provided by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) were inherently safe. I assumed that because these documents were “vetted,” there was no room for predatory terms. However, I quickly learned that the real danger lies not in the standard boilerplate, but … 더 읽기
Investing in Texas real estate has always felt like a “choose your own adventure” novel. A few years ago, the answer was almost always “Airbnb everything.” I remember sitting in a coffee shop in Montrose, Houston, watching local investors brag about 15% cap rates on simple duplexes.
