Anxious to get started in Texas!

[Shirley McLean]

Hi,

I am currently in Slidell, Louisiana but will be relocating to the Tyler, TX area in the next few months. I plan to get my real estate license and work closely with my cousin who is a local realtor in the Tyler/Longview area. I would like to get into wholesaling property and eventually into flipping, buy/hold, etc. I will probably move into investing in other areas of Texas as well as other hot areas like Tampa. I frequently visit the Tampa area and know it's a hot market for wholesaling. Portland and Seattle are also on my list.  Being self employed with as a network marketer allows me the freedom to pursue another form of income as well as the flexibility to be in any market.

Hi Shirley,

Welcome to BP. I am also in Slidell. I can't really help you meet anyone in Texas, but while you're still here you should consider attending the Real Estate Investors meetings. My husband and I have been to a couple and learned a lot. I can personally recommend the Baton Rouge group The RING, soon to be BRREIA. You can find them on Meetup.com. You can find the New Orleans group at http://neworleansreia.com/
