In Texas, Considering getting into Real Estate! Advice Requested

[Jason Schmidt]

A lil background on me - I've been doing websites for over a decade, got burned out, so am not pursuing it hardcore like I have been, so have been doing something else I've been enjoying, and that is buying/selling collectibles. I've even gotten into buying/selling cars here and there.

I am married with children, have no debt, monthly expenses of about 3k a month, and about 150k in the bank. I am not looking for a high stress situation, but am wanting to somehow get into real estate to the point of where it can provide me at least a decent partial income.

Question to you is: What would you do? I'm in Texas. Where/how do you find deals? Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated, while I continue to immerse myself in the forums here. Thanks!
