23-Year Old New Investor Seeking Advice
Hello!
I’m mainly posting this to seek and connect with anybody who can give me a little advice, knowledge, tips or something that you wish you knew starting out, or something that could benefit a younger investor/person with not a whole lot of experience.
A little background about myself, I'm a 23 year old man born and raised in the Houston, TX area. I'm currently employed full-time as well as having an LLC with 2 other guys around my age. In our current stage we are saving up money in an account, reading books, practicing and getting our reps in, grinding trying to build a foundation, with the hopes of closing our first deal by fall of this year and just to keep the momentum going after that.
Again, anything constructive or that you feel might help someone in my shoes would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats and welcome, I am from Houston as well. My suggestion is that you focus on finding out what your end goal is in your final destination and based on that you create your strategy in your criteria and what you want to buy
the other thing I would also recommend is start associating and meet like-minded individuals that you can connect with either physically in town or through digital meetups start understanding your area start understanding the different markets and start seeing if those markets will help you get to your end goal
