Hi from the newest Newbie from Fort Worth, TEXAS!

[Linda Hart]

Hi folks (or Howdy)... I am a complete newbie and have recently quit my day job to jump right into something new and real estate is fascinating to me, so here I am.    I have no idea which niche to pick from the Ultimate Guide and I come from the Software Development field, so I hope that I don't fall into analysis paralysis, but I am here to learn, connect and get started doing something that I am excited about.  I am looking to build something for myself & family vs. working for "the man" and building something, for someone else in Corporate America.  

That's my story... (well a really really short version of it).

The Ft Worth REIA I referenced can be found at DFW REIA. They are very active, meeting every Saturday morning at 9am. There are a lot of resources available through the group. It isn't obnoxiously "pitchy", but there are classes offered through the group. I will say, the prices are reasonable, not the $10k boot camps you'll find elsewhere. One of the things I like most about the group is that they allow the group's sponsors to introduce themselves at each meeting. You get some great contacts for most, if not all, the services you're going to need. These are all people experienced working with investors. They will also - occasionally - ask all the cash buyers in the room with money to spend to raise their hands. Bingo...instant buyer's list!!!

The first meeting is free.  After that it's $20, if you sign up on line, or $25 at the door.  If you actually join the group, the meetings are free.

Hope to see you there!
