New to Investing – Looking for Guidance and Hands-On Experience

[Autumn DeVaughn]

Hey everyone!

I’m fairly new to real estate investing and looking to take action. I have a very basic understanding—I used to be a real estate agent, I currently work as a property manager, and I’ve read a good number of books. But when it comes to actually investing, I’m not sure where to start.

I’d love to connect with experienced investors who enjoy teaching and wouldn’t mind having someone eager to learn. I’m also very interested in working as an intern or assistant for an active investor to gain hands-on experience. I don’t mind helping out however I can in exchange for the opportunity to learn.

I recently moved to Houston and would love to connect with local investors. Any advice, recommendations, or opportunities would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to learning from this community!

@Kiernan LaFaver I like to recommend to people that they sit down with a blank notebook and write a list of 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and 10 year goals. And then work backwards to make them happen.

This is a very fluid exercise and SHOULD be done frequently so that you know you’re making progress and can shift your goals as life develops.

If you’d like to own 10 SFHs that’s a way different trajectory than someone who wants to own 100 units of multi family and different from someone who wants STRs in different areas so they have a place to vacation occasionally.
