However, you should be wary of coming to this conclusion without first doing your research.

How to Use the Snowball Effect in Rental Property Investing

Paper house under a magnifying lens
You’re probably already familiar with the classic “snowball” effect. A snowball, rolling downhill, will accumulate snow around its exterior, and grow larger. The effect continues, but the larger total area of the snowball means even more snow is accumulated. The snowball rolls faster and faster, picking up snow at a faster rate, until it reaches massive proportions.

There’s a strategy you can apply to real estate investing that gives you access to the same kind of exponential return; once you build momentum, and choose your direction, you should be able to accumulate more and more revenue, eventually establishing you with independent wealth and a wide portfolio of different properties in your possession…. [Read More]

Jim C. – Houston, TX

My real estate agent recommended Leon Green and I am glad I took her up on her suggestion. Green has been very responsive to my questions and to each of the rental issues that arose during the two plus years I rented my house. I am moving back in, but if I rent again, I will go back to Leon Green.

Jeff N. – Houston, TX

I drove by our rental house almost a year after our first tenant moved in, and the house looked great! The front yard was perfect and the flower beds looked like someone is doing a wonderful job tending them. Looks like Green Residential found a great tenant for us, and the tenant just signed a lease extension for another year!
