Hi all,

My name is Kyle Tweed, and I am a new investor in the Katy, TX area. Currently, I am focusing on wholesaling along with some owner-finance and lease option deals. I plan to work my way into retailing once I have a good financial base and more experience. Looking forward to learning a lot from the site and all of the knowledgeable users! Thanks in advance for all of the input and tips!

Welcome abroad to BP. I absolutely love it here and it has been a great way to connect and grow a business. Pretty much anything you need you will be able to find on here. Houston is a great market and its cool because you are close to several other major cities like Dallas and San Antonio which are all exploding as well. 

Here are 7 tips to help you grow your business:

1. New to BP?

2. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades"

3. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan.

4. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.

5. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!

6. Spend 30 minutes a day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums:

7. Set yourself up to receive free alerts to be notified of subjects that interest you:

If you need anything please let me know I will try to help out in anyway.
