Mentorship advice (have capital)

[Ashley Jovellanos]

Hello I currently am very new to real estate but have been doing research since 2 years ago. I’m a 29 year old travel nurse in Austin and live in Houston. I currently have 70k in capital saved up. And I also was looking more into MTRs and LTRs for my first investment. My sister and her boyfriend are planning to be my tenants once I have found a property. Afterwards I plan to include some Airbnb rental arbitrage to my portfolio to help save up more capital once I come back to Houston and plan to cohost for free for one my friends that has one in downtown so I can learn the ropes. I would love to have a mentor as I try to find my first property. I have the money but I am just having a hard time finding houses since the interest rates have been high and the houses I have been analyzing are just barely break-even. Thank you! 

Also I have my own house which I had bought for my mom to where I have a HELOC on it thats about $30k to help for a 20% down payment.
