Off-market properties in Houston, Texas

The main source is relationships. Marques works with builders on lots and inventory, and with developers and owners across Greater Houston. Some of those parties prefer not to list a property publicly.

For a plain explanation of the process, read how off-market real estate deals work.

Every opportunity comes with the same investor figures: price, rent, gross yield, lease status, estimated tax rate, estimated insurance and flood zone. That keeps comparisons honest.

The street address and full pro formas are released on request, not published. The portfolio on this site shows street name and city only, for the same reason.

Private does not mean unchecked. Order an inspection, review the title and confirm taxes with the appraisal district. A quiet process is no reason to skip any of these steps.

Marques also introduces inspectors, title companies and lenders when you need them, and the investment consulting service covers evaluation from offer to closing.

Keep your own records of every figure you receive and every question you ask. A private deal moves faster than a public one, and a clear file helps you decide quickly without cutting corners.

Sellers of private deals want to hear from buyers who can close. Marques asks for your capital range, your financing approach and your timeline. He does not need your financial statements to start, and he will not share your information outside the process.

If you are early in your search, say so. He would rather help you define the buy box than send you deals that do not fit.

All eight current properties are listed as off-market. One is under contract, and the other seven remain available. If a property you want is taken, ask to be notified of similar opportunities.
