New investor from San Antonio TX

Hello my name is Ricardo Gonzalez

I’m from San Antonio,Texas and i just recently became a Real Estate Investor.

I attended the GURO seminar’s which were extremely helpful and then came to find bigger pockets and found out there’s no need to pay for 25,000 for becoming an Investor.

well i should mentioned the way i came across real estate.It was due to my father’s passing he left me his home,which is my childhood home,in order to validate the WILL we hired a real estate lawyer to probate my father’s WILL.There were many other thing’s that happened in between.

We then got a light bulb and realized my father left us a gold mine,we just need the right tool's.Were now on the way for a equity loan on our existing home and using it for our very first SFR/Commercial purchase.

Again with the seminar’s and daily podcast of BP we put all the knowledge together.so here i’am a new member to bigger pockets,looking on the forums. and let me tell you it feel’s great to have such an great opportunity for a legacy,job freedom,create cash flow,new friends,create wealth,I’m so looking forward to being a landlord and all that come’s with that.

Welcome to the BP forum community.

If you haven't studied real estate, suggest you think twice before relying 100% on posts. Study to get your license, whether you activate or not.

After learning the fundamentals you'll need to understand marketing and lead generation. Can't brag for knocking got boots on the ground exoerience. 

Also, find local REIA clubs in your area. Again, lots of wannabies and wishful thinking there but it's a place to meet others. Leave your credit card at home.

Avoid the dream merchants and bs artists. Since you won't know which ones are the real deal, take time to talk and watch to others. 

I used to teach for a few of them. When I recognized that they did not make their money in deals but info marketing, I knew that you were to be avoided.

Don't let others mess with your dreams.
