Investing in Austin Tx

[Justin Bergen]

Hello BIGGER POCKETS!!

My name is Justin Bergen and I have been living in the Austin area for 5 years now. I am currently getting licensed to sell Real Estate and looking to start investing as soon as I possibly can. I am looking for someone to show me the ropes, mentor, or some just great advice. I love Austin and see a very bright future as the next silicon valley. If anyone can please help me with some good starting strategies, some helpful tips that helped them get started, or even some ways to avoid some heart ache, anything will be greatly appreciated. I know as of right now AUSTIN is hot hot hot!!! homes that are turnkey here do not stay on the market. I am also looking for my niche, I am interested in both residential and commercial properties and would love to expand my knowledge in both areas. Any info in investing in Austin is greatly appreciated and I look forward to vising Investment meetings and groups.

One quick question, Has anyone done any wholesales here in Austin? seems too good to be true. would love to try to make a deal happen!

Thank you to you all for anytime and information you may give me.

BEST WISHES TO ALL

Justin Bergen

Hi Justin,

I suggest you attend REIAs and start reading! :) Then start prospecting for your first deal. There is TONS of info out there so "great advice" is all around you, especially on BP.

I am a Manager and trainer at a local Austin Brokerage. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about getting started with real estate and/or investing.

But my sincere advice to you is to "Just do it." You WILL LEARN as you go.

:) Good luck and let us know if we can help.
