newbie introduction. Amarillo Texas

[Jacob Thomas]

I have been listening to biggerpockets podcasts at the rapid rate!  I am looking to get into real estate investing and have a target area in the panhandle of Texas.  I'm hoping to close my first deal in the next 10 months.  Any tips or lessons learned for newbies would be greatly appreciated.  I will be doing this while holding down a full time job and have found hope from others who are doing the same thing.
