I am thinking of going in to realestate Dallas FW area and have $160k to invest how would I go about starting I have q full time job on the side and not looking to leave it any time soon. I probably feel like either flipping or a solid rental to start.

Hi Kareem,

I have been having a real estate investor meet up once a month.  There are quite mix of people who come, some experienced and others who are looking to get started.  It might be a great place for you to bounce some ideas off other people.  Our next meet up is April 20th at 12p at Nikolas in The Shops at Legacy, you're welcome to join if you are interested.

One idea which might be a good place to start is house-hacking with a duplex.  They are hard to find in Plano but McKinney has quite a few of them.  It can be difficult though depending on your family situation.

I will include the link for our meet up in case you are interested.  Best of luck!
