FAQ
Real estate investor FAQ
Straight answers to the questions investors and builders ask before the first conversation.
Common questions
Have a question that is not here? Marques answers personally.
What is an off-market property, and how do I get access?
An off-market property is offered privately rather than advertised on the MLS. Marques sources these opportunities directly from builders, developers and owners, and shares them first with investors who have completed the investor form and confirmed their buy box.
What size of investor do you work with?
The investment opportunities are built for investors deploying roughly $500K to $5M, whether that means one duplex or a portfolio. First-time investors with capital ready are welcome; the first conversation clarifies what fits.
Where are the properties in your current portfolio?
The current portfolio is eight new construction properties in Houston, Texas. Full addresses and pro formas are shared with qualified investors on request.
Are the rental and return figures guaranteed?
No. Rents, taxes and insurance shown are estimates supplied by the seller or builder and gross yield is calculated before expenses. Every investor should verify figures independently and consult their own financial, tax and legal advisors.
Do you work with builders?
Yes. Builder services are one of his three specialties: identifying and acquiring development-ready lots, and connecting builders' new construction inventory with a qualified investor buyer pool in Houston and Central Florida.
Do you work in both Texas and Florida?
Yes. Marques is licensed in Texas and Florida and focuses on Greater Houston and Central Florida, so investors can build across both markets with one advisor.
What does "turnkey" mean for these properties?
A turnkey investment property is ready to produce income at closing or shortly after, with construction complete and tenants in place or tenant applications underway. Lease status is listed for every property.
How quickly will I hear back after I submit a form?
Every inquiry is followed up on personally. Off-market opportunities move quickly, so include your capital range and timeline to get matched faster.
