Local Mentors

[Alejandra Perez]

Hi everyone!

I am interested in getting to know some local investor mentors in the San Antonio area. I am interested in wholesaling, flipping, rentals, etc. I've read some real estate books, articles, just completed a training module, listen to BP podcasts, yet I have no experience. Someone recommend this site to me and I am looking forward to meeting and attending local networking groups in the San Antonio area. 

I am currently in another field but have always wanted to get into real estate investing. My goal is to get out of Corporate America, have more time for my passions (real estate & yoga), grow as much as I can in every area of my life, have control and complete freedom of my life. 

Being brand new, does anyone out there have any advice on where exactly where to start? Are there any other rookies out there like me? :) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to BP @Alejandra Perez

We are in a great city with respect to Real Estate. BP will provide you with all the necessary resources and I wish you good luck :)

My honest piece of advice is:

• Focus on either wholesaling or flipping or buy and hold. If you have a deal, choose any of the strategies but don't focus on all 3 when you target your motivated sellers.
• Educate yourself well. But don't over educate. Total amount of learning from your 1st deal will outweigh everything you learn before that.
• The highest amount of time wasted is when you don't follow up. Make sure there is nothing that you forget because you overwhelm yourself with work out of excitement.
• Don't hesitate to give low offers (I am struggling with that). People always want a lot more for their property than what its worth.
• Don't quit before doing your 1st deal. You won't quit after !!
