New to real estate fort worth Tx

[Daniel Cejas]

Hello BP.

I am New to the real estate game. Ive been a member of BP for about a year. Listened to almost all the podcast and read some books. Im looking for someone to mentor me. I want to be able to make my first purchase late 2017 or early 2018.I'm working to get my credit as good as possible. I know there are other ways but good credit will always be a plus. I have zero actual experience. Im hoping someone will give me a hand and teach me some of the ropes. I will work. Ill sweep the floors of I have too. Just want as much knowledge as I can get. If anyone has any advice i would love to hear it.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Daniel Cejas and fellow Texan.  You'll find a wealth of knowledge on line here or on the Pod Casts.  I always recommend listening to the pod cast when you can (driving to/from work) and picking up a few of their books.  Regarding credit score.  Yes, bankers will always run a credit report on anyone buying property.  But in the mean time, having enough cash to start is also important.  So keep your bills current; stash some cash away; and keep up with ideas presented on here.  I love the FW area -but have not invested up there.  I travel that way for work. I'd suggest looking "around" FW perhaps west and NW/SW in Azle, Springtown, Benbrook.  Only because I'm sure the costs are less than in FW proper.  That's what I did.  I live in Austin but purchased two homes in Lampasas.  When you have questions and are looking on here for answers - try to be as specific about them as possible and you'll have people help you!
