Advice for a beginner

Dallas Ward
Posted

I've been listening to several of the BP podcasts for about 9 months. I love the idea of real estate investing but I am suffering from "Analysis Paralysis". Before I start investing, I am thinking that I need to have "my Team" solidified (Contractor/ property Inspector, property management, realtor, etc). 

Any advice for me on who would be good to connect with in the San Antonio area? I live out of state, but wanted to buy in this area. Any advice on good reference books to guide me through my first deal?

Thanks

Dallas

Hey Dallas,

You're 100% correct in that you should first establish your team. I recommend attending your local REIAs, and any other local REI meetups to network with vendors and other investors from your market. BP is also a great place to connect.
