Alright, y'all, Scott Carson here, and I'm fired up! Let's talk about how to make 2026 your best year in Texas real estate. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: the key to crushing it next year starts right now.

We've all been there – January rolls around, we make big promises, and then...poof! Life happens, and those goals fade faster than a Texas sunset. That's why I'm a huge believer in turning the end of this year (2025) into a 14-month year. By getting a head start now, you'll be miles ahead of the competition when January hits.

• LLC: Your Shield Against the Storm:
• Think of your LLC as your real estate superhero suit. It protects your personal assets from business liabilities, it's a must-have. Setting one up in Texas is easier than finding a Whataburger and way cheaper than the California alternative.
• Self-Directed IRA: Your Secret Weapon:
• Ready to unlock some serious financial mojo? A self-directed IRA gives you the freedom to invest in what you know, from notes to small balance options.
• REIA: Find Your Posse:
• Real estate is a team sport, folks. Local REIAs are where you meet fellow investors, share knowledge, and find deals.
• Build Your Dream Team:
• You're only as strong as your weakest link. Assemble a rock-solid team of local experts.
• Market Intel: Know What's Hot:
• Every Texas market is unique. What's working in Austin might not fly in Corpus Christi. Get on the ground, talk to people, and uncover the hidden opportunities.

So there you have it. Turn this year's Q4 into your secret weapon, and get ready to dominate the Texas real estate scene in 2026. Reach out at talkwithscottcarson.com, and let's make some magic happen!

As a real estate investor for over 20 years who's invested in the Houston market to millions in residential commercial real estate, I'm excited about this podcast.

Like I said, whether you're buying your first property, your first investment, or looking to buy land in the greater Houston area, now we won't just focus on Harris County in Houston, we'll cover our neighbors the south of Galveston and up as well to in East Texas. But this podcast is designed to bring in experts to help you tackle and learn strategies that are working in today's market, along with the local boots on the ground vendors and experts and investors are willing to share their stories and strategies to help you take your investing to the next level.

Like I said, I've been investing in Houston for almost 20 years on the residential and commercial side when it comes to stress real estate, and we want to help you hone your strategies, whether you're getting started brand new or a seasoned expert, we want to provide valuable content to you on a weekly basis, two episodes per week, one on Wednesdays, one on Fridays to help you take your investment to that whole next level.
