Hi everyone,
I’m new to the BiggerPockets community and looking to get into real estate investing. Currently, I’m focused on learning as much as possible with the goal of starting to invest next year. My primary interest lies in the Houston market, but I’m open to exploring other areas as well.
So far, I’ve read The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner and am currently working through The Book on Managing Rental Properties. I would appreciate any tips, advice, or recommendations for books and podcasts that have been valuable to you.
I’m also interested in hearing your stories about how you got started and the challenges you faced along the way.
Thank you for your insights. I look forward to connecting with you!
Thanks,
Cade Phelan

Welcome to BP Cade. Take in and absorb as much information, but more importantly take action on it. GL!
