Burnt on books - seeking real life experience

Hey Everyone!

Quick intro on myself - I purchased my first property (duplex) two years ago in Austin, TX. Since then, I've purchased a primary residence in Austin and a SFR in Birmingham. I am constantly reading but books are starting to become repetitive with many similar concepts. Each property that I've attained, I've made mistakes. Lots of them. I've also realized that the numbers, distance between properties and the lack of scale is truly limiting me. Six months ago, I made the decision to only focus on purchasing a commercial multifamily property (10+ units).

Openingly, I have fear of the unknown.  I've made mistakes with each previous property and I expect to make many more moving forward.  I am hoping to find someone in the Austin area (ideally), if not local, someone with commercial experience investing in Texas to help me make a smoother transition into the commercial space.  

If this is you, I'd love to hear from you! Learn about your journey and hopefully help me minimize mistakes moving forward!
