Introduction of new member.
Hey Guys! My name is Daniel , Im Hungarian professional soccer player right now I play in Greece , I listen a lot of Bigger Pockets and Im really intrigued to have my first deal in a Dallas - Fort Worth area. I plan to stop being an athlete in 2-3 years and turn into a full time investor/developer , Im ready to learn and put the effort in it. If any one could help I would really appreciate a lot! Thanks and Good luck for everyone!

Hello Daniel,
Welcome to the BP community. I would suggest once you move back to the US try to attend real estate networking events where you will be able to network with all types of real estate investors from newbies to experienced investors. Another thing to keep in mind is to make sure you have an active income to help you have more options in terms of the strategy you will use to begin investing. If you can start now even better since you have your active income from being a professional soccer player. Not sure what you plan on doing for active income when you retire but also the higher the income the better. Otherwise with no income you are looking into just buying all cash or using a loan called Debt to ratio income to purchase investment properties where you use the rent to cover your mortgage but you will need to put down at least 25% down of the purchase price. Best of luck with your soccer season and real estate investing.
