Undrea King and Andy Speed are the owners of Drayco Properties, a wholesale investment company based in Houston, Texas. Undrea has over two decades experience as a business operator and several years as a real estate investor. Andy has been in the real estate game since February 2015 and has a decade’s worth of experience in supply chain management. Their business is all about finding distressed investment properties for owner finance, fix-and-flip, and buy-and-hold investors.

Undrea and Andy join me today to share how hot the Houston market is right now and how their company manages to float and maintain a steady course for success and growth. They share their professional background and the reason why they decided to work together. They explain how their business runs, their hiring system, and why they invest so much money in cold-calling. They also describe some of their short-term goals and how they plan to achieve them.
