New investor looking for advice.

[Cody Webb]

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I am looking for advice in investing in properties to rent. I live in Midland TX which is dominated by the oil and gas industry and contemplated on purchasing a house or building a duplex to rent to a oilfield company. However I feel that I lack the knowledge to get started, if anyone has done this in my area I would love to hear your opinion if its profitable enough to be worth the time and trouble. Also if anyone has any advice on where to learn more on the processes of buying and renting I would really appreciate any sources or programs I can complete to help myself.
