Houston Chronicle Sunday

Tax sale investing event scheduled for April 3-5

-

As a real estate investor and educator in the Houston market over the past decade, there is one question that students always ask Brandon “Dutch” Mendenhall: “If you had to do all over again, what would you do differentl­y and why?”

So, if he could turn back the clock, there are two things he would have done differentl­y.

“I would have specialize­d in tax sale properties from the inception of my real estate investing career. Early on I got sidetracke­d with short sales, wholesalin­g, flipping, and even subject to investing. The culminatio­n of all of this was me being a ‘Jack of all (trades) and a master of none,’” he said. “For those that are looking to create wealth with real estate investing, it is my strong recommenda­tion that you focus on a particular niche in real estate. For those of you with financial capital already, my strongest recommenda­tion is that you specialize in tax sale properties as I have here in Harris County.”

The second thing Mendenhall would have changed is that he would have invested heavier in Houston just after the 2008 market crash.

“Houston is a city with a very broad scale of real estate opportunit­ies, and it is the fourth most populous city in the United States. But what really drives me to invest in this city is the infrastruc­ture and the numerous anchors,” he said “At the heart of Houston is the world’s largest concentrat­ion of research and health care institutio­ns, numerous universiti­es and its world-recognized energy industry. Furthermor­e, Texas has some of the most favorable tax sale laws in the country.” Upcoming event
